AccuShares Commodities Trust I is
a Delaware statutory trust organized into separate fund series, and sponsored by AccuShares Investment Management, LLC. The series
listed above (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) will always issue, distribute and redeem Up
and Down Shares in equal quantities. Each Fund’s shares represent fractional undivided interests in and ownership of that
Fund only. Each Fund will offer its shares on a continuous basis and be listed on the NASDAQ OMX.

The Funds are not intended to be used
as long-term passive investment vehicles. The Funds are not appropriate for you if you do not intend to actively monitor and
manage your holdings in the Funds before and immediately following each Fund distribution date.

The objective of each Fund is to track
the changes in the spot prices of specified commodities where such prices are published as index values (each an “Underlying
Index”) by S&P® Dow Jones® Indices LLC, which is unaffiliated with the Funds or the sponsor.

Exposure to changes in an Underlying
Index will be achieved through the allocation of each Fund’s liquidation value to each of its classes (“Class Value”)
and the resulting distribution to Fund shareholders of cash or cash and paired Up and Down Shares on prescribed distribution dates.
A Fund’s Up Shares will generally be entitled to a distribution when the Fund’s Underlying Index has increased as of
specified dates (“Regular Distributions”) or by 75% (“Special Distributions”). Similarly, a Fund’s
Down Shares will generally be entitled to Regular or Special Distributions when the Underlying Index has declined. The change in
the allocation of the Fund’s liquidation value to each class, as well as any resulting Regular or Special Distribution, will
have a total value, after adjustment for dilution in value of shares held by the recipient following any Regular or Special Distribution,
equal to the favorable, but no more than 90%, Underlying Index change since the previous distribution date or since the Fund’s
inception in the case of the first distribution. Regular and Special Distributions are expected to be made principally in cash,
though the sponsor will make all or any part of any such distribution in paired shares where further cash distributions would have
an adverse effect on the liquidity of the market for the Fund’s shares as described herein. After the first six months of
trading in a Fund’s shares, the sponsor intends to cause the Fund to continue to make Regular and Special Distributions entirely
in cash, unless further distributions in cash would result in the Fund having less than $25 million in assets. The share class
having an adverse experience from Underlying Index changes will receive no Regular or Special Distribution and will experience
dilution in value caused by the distribution to the opposing share class. Corrective distributions of shares (“Corrective
Distributions”) may occur if the Fund’s share classes’ exchange trading prices deviate persistently from the
value per share representing their

share class’ relative portion of
the Fund’s liquidation value (“Class Value per Share”). See “Investment Objectives,” “Distributions
and Distribution Dates,” and “Description of the Shares & Certain Terms of the Trust Agreement.”

Each Fund will hold only cash, short-dated
U.S. Treasuries or collateralized U.S. Treasury repurchases. No Fund will invest in commodities, futures, swaps, or other assets
that may track its Underlying Index.

Each Fund will continuously offer
and redeem its shares only in blocks of 25,000 Up Shares and 25,000 Down Shares (“Creation Units”). Only Authorized
Participants may purchase and redeem Creation Units for cash. The initial Authorized Participant may, though it is under no obligation
to do so, make initial purchases of two or more Creation Units of each Fund at an initial price per share of $25.00. Thereafter,
shares of the Funds will be offered to Authorized Participants in Creation Units at each Fund’s Class Values per Share for
each class. See “Creation and Redemption of Shares” and “Plan of Distribution.”

All other investors may only buy or sell
a Fund’s shares in the secondary market at current market prices and may incur fees or brokerage commissions on their transactions.
A Fund’s Up and Down Shares will trade separately.

Neither the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined
if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this
prospectus is ________, 2014

The
Funds are not suitable for all investors

The Funds are very different from most
mutual funds, exchange traded funds, commodity pools and other exchange traded products. You should note that:

(1)

Down Shares are Unlike Other Traditional Fund Investments. The Down Shares
of each Fund pursue investment goals which are inverse to the performance of its Underlying Index, a result opposite from the
results of most mutual funds, exchange traded funds, and other exchange traded products.

(2)

Distributions can Reduce or Eliminate Your Desired Exposure to an Underlying
Index and Cash Distributions will Reduce the Size of a Fund. A Fund’s Regular and Special Distributions of cash,
or cash and shares, will reduce your opportunity for gains arising from changes in the Fund’s Underlying Index in subsequent
periods. Any Corrective Distribution will eliminate your opportunity for such gains in subsequent periods. The sponsor intends
to cause each Fund to make Regular and Special Distributions in cash, although the sponsor will make all or any part of any such
distribution in paired shares instead of cash where further cash distributions would adversely affect the liquidity of the market
for the Fund’s shares.

The
payment of cash distributions over time is expected to cause a decline in the applicable Fund’s Class Values. If a Fund’s
Class Values decline to a significant extent, the market for the Fund’s shares may become less liquid. Moreover, a significant
decline in a Fund’s Class Values may cause the sponsor to terminate the Fund if its continued operation would be uneconomical.
In any event, each Fund will always have sufficient assets to redeem all of its outstanding shares at the prevailing Class Values
per Share.

When
a Fund makes a distribution in paired shares, it will not issue fractional shares but will instead distribute cash in lieu of
fractional shares. Regular and Special Distributions of shares will be made in equal quantities of Up Shares and Down Shares (or
the cash value of such shares) only to the share class of the Fund whose Class Value per Share has increased since the beginning
of the distribution measurement period that starts with the prior distribution date or the inception of Fund operations in the
case of the first distribution date (the “Measuring Period”). If a distribution is in cash, any amounts held in cash
will have no responsiveness to the Underlying Index. Any portion of your Fund holdings in your portfolio that is represented by
equal amounts of Up Shares and Down Shares will also have no responsiveness to any changes in the level of the Fund’s Underlying
Index since change in the relative Class Values per Share of each Up Share and each Down Share will exactly offset each other
with respect to changes in the Underlying Index.

(3)

If You Seek to Maintain a Maximum Exposure to an Underlying Index, You May Need
to Rebalance Your Fund Investments After Every Distribution. Investors wishing to maximize exposure to the Underlying Index
(in either direction) or investors wishing to compound gains over one or more distribution dates must invest any cash distributed
in the class of shares aligned with their investment objectives. To the extent that a distribution is made in paired shares, investors
will need to sell all shares of the class of

i

shares
they receive in such distribution that opposes their intended exposure to the Underlying Index and use the sale proceeds (combined
with any cash distributions) to invest in the class of shares aligned with their investment objectives.

(4)

Trading Prices and Trading Transaction Costs Will Adversely Impact Your Ability
to Closely Track an Underlying Index through an Investment in the Shares of the Funds. There is no assurance that an
investor will be able to execute purchases and sales at any consistent or desired trading price. For example, if you initially
hold Up Shares in a Fund and the Class Value per Share of the Up Shares exceeds the Class Value per Share of the Down Shares on
the date for the next Regular Distribution, you will receive a Regular Distribution of cash, or cash and an equal number of Up
and Down Shares, whose value (in the aggregate, including all cash and any shares distributed) will represent the increase in
value of your original Up Shares as of the distribution date caused by the increase over the Measuring Period in the Underlying
Index. If you wish to maintain a total positive exposure to the Underlying Index at the increased value of your original Up Shares
after the distribution date, you will need to use any cash distributed to you to purchase additional Up Shares. To the extent
you received a distribution of paired shares, you will need to sell any Down Shares that were distributed to you and use the sale
proceeds plus distributed cash to purchase additional Up Shares. Both your sale of the Down Shares, if any, and the purchase of
additional Up Shares will occur at trading prices and not the Class Values per Share for such shares. Moreover, your transaction
in the Fund’s shares may be subject to your broker’s commissions or other charges. The trading prices you receive
and your transaction expenses may impede your ability to closely track the performance of an Underlying Index through an investment
in the shares of the Funds.

The
Funds are designed to be utilized only by sophisticated investors who are expected to monitor and manage their position in the
shares not less frequently than each distribution date.

Investors
who do not intend to actively manage and monitor their Fund investments at least as frequently as each distribution date should
not buy shares of the Funds. There is no assurance that the Funds will achieve their objectives and an investment in a Fund could
lose money. No Fund is a complete investment program.

None
of the Trust or the Funds is a mutual fund or any other type of investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, and none is subject to regulation thereunder. Moreover, neither the Trust, any Fund nor the sponsor is subject to
regulation under the Commodities Exchange Act or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”).

The
shares of a Fund are neither interests in nor obligations of any of the Trust’s sponsor, trustee or any of their respective
affiliates. The shares are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

REGULATORY NOTICES

You should rely
only on the information contained in this prospectus or to which we have referred you. We do not authorize anyone to provide you
with information that is different.

This prospectus
does not constitute an offer or solicitation to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation,
or sale of the shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale is not authorized or to any person to whom
it is unlawful to make any such offer, solicitation, or sale.

The following
is only a summary of portions of this prospectus. You should carefully read the entire prospectus before investing in any Fund’s
shares. The definition of certain capitalized terms may be found in the “Glossary of Certain Terms” in Appendix G appearing
before the back cover of this prospectus.

Overview

AccuShares Commodities
Trust I is a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) organized on June 28, 2013 into separate, segregated series. The
Trust may offer to sell shares of beneficial interest of any or all of the six series of the Trust listed on the cover of this
prospectus (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The shares of each Fund represent a beneficial
interest in and ownership of the assets of that Fund only. The Trust may offer shares of additional fund series. The term of the
Trust and each Fund is perpetual unless terminated earlier by the Trust’s sponsor, AccuShares Investment Management, LLC
(the “Sponsor”). See “Description of the Shares & Certain Terms of the Trust Agreement.”

The shares of each
Fund are designed for investors who want a cost-effective, targeted and transparent exposure to various commodity spot prices
as represented by each Fund’s “Underlying Index.” Each Fund tracks its Underlying Index’s changes without
the need to hold any securities, commodities, futures or other financial instruments relating to its Underlying Index or the assets
referenced by the Underlying Index. Instead, each Fund is expressly limited to holding only: cash; bills, bonds and notes issued
and guaranteed by the United States Treasury with remaining maturities of three months or less (“eligible Treasuries”);
and over-night repurchase agreements collateralized by United States Treasury securities (“eligible repos,” together
with cash and eligible Treasuries, “Eligible Assets”). See “Use of Proceeds” and “Description of
the Fund Eligible Assets.”

Unlike other exchange
traded products, each Fund will engage principally in cash distributions and potentially paired share distributions to deliver
to shareholders the economic exposure to the Fund’s Underlying Index. Such distributions may not represent any income or
gains on a Fund’s Eligible Assets and may represent a return of a shareholder’s capital. Each Fund will issue its shares
in offsetting pairs, where one constituent of the pair is positively linked to the Fund’s Underlying Index (“Up Shares”)
and the other constituent is negatively linked to the Fund’s Underlying Index (“Down Shares”). Therefore, each
Fund will only issue, distribute, maintain and redeem equal quantities of Up and Down Shares at all times. Once issued and before
any redemption, Up Shares and Down Shares will trade separately without restriction on the NASDAQ OMX (the “Exchange”).
See “Distributions and Distribution Dates” and “Description of the Shares & Certain Terms of the Trust Agreement—Shares
Freely Transferable.”

The custodian
will daily determine the liquidation value of a Fund attributable to each of its classes (“Class Value”), which liquidation
value is based on the value of the Fund’s Eligible Assets attributable to such class, (a) plus any accrued income or gains
or losses on such assets attributable to such class (“Investment Income”), (b) less all fees, expenses and taxes attributable
to such class not otherwise assumed by the Sponsor, where such income and gains after

1

deduction of such fees, expenses and
taxes is referred to as the class’ “Net Investment Income.” Investment Income with respect to a class will be
adjusted during any creation or redemption order settlement period for any increases or decreases in value of a Fund’s assets
attributable to such class resulting from such order. The Net Investment Income and Investment Income can be positive or negative.

Since the Funds’
Eligible Assets are not managed to track the performance of the Underlying Indices, the payment of cash distributions over time
is expected to cause a decline in the applicable Fund’s Class Values. See “Risk Factors—Key Risks Related to
Cash Distributions and the Combination of Up Shares and Down Shares—Payment Over Time of Distributions in Cash May Cause
a Fund’s Class Values to Decline. A Significant Decline in Class Values May Cause the Market for the Fund’s Shares
to Become Less Liquid or the Sponsor to Terminate the Fund.”

At the inception
of operations of each Fund, the Sponsor will establish the level at which each share class of the Fund will participate in the
Fund’s Underlying Index. Thereafter, the custodian will daily allocate among each Fund’s Up Shares and Down Shares
their respective Class Values where the Class Value for each class of a Fund is shared equally among the outstanding shares of
such class. This daily allocation of Class Values results in the “Class Value per Share” for each Up Share and each
Down Share of the Fund. Most important for the calculation of a Fund’s Class Values per Share – one for the Up Shares
and one for the Down Shares – is the determination of the Class Value of each class of a Fund, which is based on changes
in the level of the Underlying Index from the previous calculation date. Consequently, the Class Value per Share of a class of
a Fund is such class’ allocation per share of the Fund’s liquidation value reflecting changes in the Fund’s Underlying
Index in accordance with the linkage – positive or negative – such class has to the Underlying Index. Class Values
and Class Values per Share will be posted to the Sponsor’s website (www.AccuShares.com). See “Investment Objectives—Pricing
and Calculating of Class Value and Class Value per Share.”

Each Fund is expected
to engage in four types of distributions as of certain dates (each a “Distribution Date”). The first type of distribution
will occur at regular intervals for each Fund (“Regular Distribution”). Regular Distributions will generally occur
as long as there has been a change in the level of the Underlying Index as of the Distribution Date since the prior Distribution
Date or since the inception of the Fund’s operations in the case of the first Regular Distribution (in either case, the “prior
Distribution Date”). Secondly, each Fund expects to make cash distributions on each Distribution Date to the shareholders
of any class of such Fund whose class Net Investment Income is positive as of such Distribution Date (each, a “Net Income
Distribution”). See “Distributions and Distribution Dates—Regular Distributions” and “—Net
Income Distributions.”

The other two types
of distributions are not expected to occur regularly and are mechanisms intended to protect the interests of investors by providing
them with the expected value of their shares upon specified events. Thus, the third type of distribution (“Special Distribution”)
occurs when the level or value of the Fund’s Underlying Index changes by 75% since the prior Distribution Date but before
the next Regular Distribution. The fourth type of distribution (“Corrective Distribution”) occurs only if the trading
price of a class’ shares on the Exchange deviates for a specified length of time over a specified threshold amount from the

2

Class Value per Share of such class.
See “Distributions and Distribution Dates—Special Distributions” and “—The Arbitrage Mechanism and
Corrective Distributions.”

A Fund’s Class
Values per Share will have limited responsiveness to extreme movements in its Underlying Index that occur during a single distribution
measurement period that starts with the prior Distribution Date (the “Measuring Period”). For any single Measuring
Period in which a Fund’s Underlying Index rises or falls by more than 90%, Class Value per Share will be calculated based
on a rise or fall, as applicable, of 90% and not the actual rise or fall of the Underlying Index (the “Class Value per Share
Limitation”). The Sponsor expects that a Special Distribution will be triggered prior to a rise or fall in the Underlying
Index that will also trigger a Class Value per Share Limitation, and the Special Distribution may obviate the implementation of
the Class Value per Share Limitation. Nevertheless, the Class Value per Share Limitation is designed to address the particular
instance in which the value of the Underlying Index rises or falls rapidly through both the value at which a Special Distribution
occurs (i.e., 75%) and the value at which a Class Value per Share Limitation occurs (i.e., 90%) prior to settlement
of the related Special Distribution. Consequently, the Class Value per Share of a Fund’s Down Shares will not decline, and
its Up Shares will not increase, by more than 90% in a single Measuring Period when the Fund’s Underlying Index is rapidly
rising. Conversely, the Class Value per Share Limitation is designed to preclude the Class Value per Share of a Fund’s Up
Shares from declining, and its Down Shares from increasing, by more than 90% in a single Measuring Period when the Fund’s
Underlying Index is rapidly falling. If a Fund’s shares become subject to a Class Value per Share Limitation, such Fund’s
Class Values per Share will not exactly reflect the value change of the Fund’s Underlying Index over a Measuring Period.
See “Investment Objectives” and “Distributions and Distribution Dates.”

Distribution entitlements
relating to changes in a Fund’s Underlying Index will be determined as follows:

·

Up Shares entitlements to distributions from the Fund (before adjustment for Net Investment
Income) are tied to increases, if any, of the Underlying Index, subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation, and

·

Down Shares entitlements to distributions from the Fund (before adjustment for Net
Investment Income) are tied to decreases, if any, of the same Underlying Index, subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation.

Thus, shares of
the class enjoying an increase in Class Value per Share on a Distribution Date will receive a Regular Distribution – or more
infrequently, a Special Distribution – consisting of cash, or cash and matched quantities of Up and Down Shares, with a value
(in the aggregate, including all cash and the aggregate Class Values per Share of any shares distributed) equal to the closing
Class Value per Share of such class (after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution) less the closing Class Value per Share of
the opposing class (after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution), except as noted below. Conversely, shares of the class whose
exposure to the Fund’s Underlying Index had an adverse effect on their Class Value per Share will not receive any Regular
or Special Distribution relating to changes in the Underlying Index and, instead, will experience Class Value per Share dilution
caused by the distribution of cash, or cash and shares, to the opposing class shareholders, which dilution effect is expected,
except as

3

noted below, to equal in value the decline
in Class Value per Share due to the unfavorable Underlying Index change as of the Distribution Date experienced by this class of
shares.

Holders of shares
of the class enjoying an increase in Class Value per Share on a Distribution Date receive an amount equal to the closing Class
Value per Share of such class (after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution), which reflects the full favorable movement of
the Underlying Index during the Measuring Period (subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation), less the closing Class Value
per Share of the opposing class (after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution), which reflects the full unfavorable movement
of the Underlying Index during the Measuring Period (subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation). Consequently, the value
of every Regular and Special Distribution will exceed the amount attributable to the movement of the Fund’s Underlying Index
(before adjustment for Net Investment Income). Nevertheless, the shares held by such holders will experience the same dilution
effect as the holders of shares of the opposing class as a result of any such distribution and, accordingly, the shareholder’s
net economic benefit from such distribution (before adjustment for Net Investment Income) is expected to equal the amount attributable
to the movement of the Fund’s Underlying Index (subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation) as a result of such dilutive
effect.

Ordinarily, Regular
and Special Distributions will be in cash, although the Sponsor will make all or any part of any such distribution in paired shares
instead of cash where further cash distributions would adversely affect the liquidity of the market for the Fund’s shares
or impact the Fund’s ability to meet minimum asset size Exchange listing standards. After the first six months of trading
in a Fund’s shares, the Sponsor intends to cause each Fund to continue to make Regular and Special Distributions in cash,
unless further cash distributions would result in the Fund having aggregate Class Values of less than $25 million. See “Distributions
and Distribution Dates—Determination of Regular and Special Distribution Amounts and Share Index Factors.”

The payment of cash
distributions over time is expected to cause a decline in the applicable Fund’s Class Values. If a Fund’s Class Values
decline to a significant extent, the market for the Fund’s shares may become less liquid. Moreover, a significant decline
in a Fund’s Class Values may cause the Sponsor to terminate the Fund if its continued operation would be uneconomical. In
any event, each Fund will always have sufficient assets to redeem all of its outstanding shares at Class Value per Share. Moreover,
a Fund’s Class Values per Share are always expected to decline regardless of whether Regular and Special Distributions are
conducted in cash or in paired shares unless the Fund engages in reverse share splits.

After any Regular
or Special Distribution by a Fund, the Fund will reset the fixed positive linear relationship of the Class Value of its Up Shares
with such Fund’s Underlying Index (the “Up Share Index Factor”) and the fixed inverse linear relationship of
the Class Value of its Down Shares with such Fund’s Underlying Index (the “Down Share Index Factor” and together
with the Up Share Index Factor, the “Share Index Factors”). This resetting of the Share Index Factors causes Class
Values per Share to be equal following each such distribution, where the Class Values per Share will be equal to the lowest Class
Value per Share of either class calculated in determining the distribution. See “Distributions and Distribution Dates—Determination
of Regular and Special Distribution Amounts and Share Index Factors.”

4

Reverse share
splits are expected to occur with Special Distributions. The Sponsor can cause a Fund to declare a forward or reverse share split
in its sole discretion, but is only expected to declare reverse share splits to prevent the Class Value per Share for all shares
of a Fund from approaching zero. In the event of a reverse share split, the Share Index Factors and the per share calculations
for Net Investment Income will be adjusted to reflect the split to maintain continuity in tracking the Fund’s Underlying
Index. See “Distributions and Distribution Dates—Determination of Regular and Special Distribution Amounts and Share
Index Factors.”

The Funds are designed
to be utilized by investors who are prepared to reassess their holding of the shares at least as frequently as each Distribution
Date. Investors who hold shares over one or more consecutive Distribution Dates without reassessment of their Fund share portfolio
may experience decreased exposure to the Fund’s Underlying Index as well as a reduced opportunity of gain and loss. See “Distributions
and Distribution Dates—Investor Responses to Distributions.”

AccuShares Investment
Management, LLC serves as the Sponsor of the Trust. The principal offices of the Trust and the Sponsor are located at 1 Bridge
Plaza North, Suite 468, Fort Lee, NJ 07024, and their telephone number is (201) 399-4700. See “Description of the Shares
& Certain Terms of the Trust Agreement—The Sponsor.”

Investment Objectives

The Funds are designed
to track the changes in specified spot commodity prices occurring from the prior Distribution Date to the next Distribution Date
or a Measuring Period. Up Shares of each Fund seek to provide investment results, before adjustment for the class’ Net Investment
Income, which results correspond to the performance of its Underlying Index over a Measuring Period, whether favorable or adverse
(subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation). Down Shares of each Fund seek to provide investment results, before adjustment
for the class’ Net Investment Income, which results correspond to the inverse of the performance (negative one times) of
its Underlying Index over a Measuring Period, whether favorable or adverse (subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation).

5

The Underlying Index
of each Fund is as follows:

Underlying Index

AccuShares Commodity Funds:

AccuShares S&P GSCI Spot Fund

S&P GSCI Spot (“S&P
GSCI”)

AccuShares S&P GSCI Agriculture and Livestock Spot Fund

S&P GSCI Agriculture and
Livestock Spot (“S&P GSCI-AL”)

AccuShares S&P GSCI Industrial Metals Spot Fund

S&P GSCI Industrial Metals
Spot (“S&P GSCI-IN”)

AccuShares S&P GSCI Crude Oil Spot Fund

S&P GSCI Crude Oil Spot (“S&P
GSCI-CL”)

AccuShares S&P GSCI Brent Oil Spot Fund

S&P GSCI Brent Crude Spot
(“S&P GSCI-BR”)

AccuShares S&P GSCI Natural Gas Spot Fund

S&P GSCI Natural Gas Spot
(“S&P GSCI-NG”)

At all times, the
number of outstanding Up Shares and the number of outstanding Down Shares of any Fund will be equal. This requirement of an equal
number of Up Shares and Down Shares at all times is an important feature of the Funds, as it allows the shares of a Fund to accurately
track its Underlying Index without the need for a Fund to use hedges or proxy instruments whose value, for instance, is derived
from the value of an underlying asset, rate, or benchmark, including futures contracts, swap agreements, forward contracts and
other similar instruments. As a result of eliminating the need to utilize hedges and proxy instruments, the tracking inaccuracies
and costs that can arise in pooled investment vehicles that rely on such hedges and instruments will not occur in the Funds.

The Funds differ
from many other fund products with respect to the manner in which the shares achieve their investment objective, positive or negative,
of tracking the performance of their referenced Underlying Indices. In most funds, fund assets are acquired and managed with the
objective of achieving a targeted return. The return on shares of these managed fund products is not based on the actual performance
of the targeted index, but rather the investment acumen and strategy of the manager and the precision of the tools used by the
manager in an attempt to proxy the targeted return. In contrast, the shares of the Funds will not rely on the investment acumen
of a manager or the precision of the investment tools used by a manager for performance or for tracking the targeted Underlying
Index. Rather, the return on a Fund’s shares with respect to its Underlying Index will be algorithmic and delivered to Fund
investors experiencing an increase in their shares’ Class Value per Share by Regular and Special Distributions and to Fund
investors experiencing a decrease in their shares’ Class Value per Share by the dilution of their shares’ Class Value
per Share due to Regular and Special Distributions received by the class of shares opposing their shares.

The return on the
shares also represents a total return equal to the Fund’s Underlying Index performance plus the Fund’s Net Investment
Income attributable to each class of the Fund’s shares, subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation. Since the Underlying
Index tracking objective of each share class of each Fund is met by the distribution rights feature of the shares, each Fund is
restricted to holding Eligible Assets. Each Fund will invest its assets so as to preserve its capital while, at the same time,
earning an investment return that is consistent with

6

such preservation of capital. The income
and gains on a Fund’s Eligible Assets attributable to a class may be insufficient to cover the full amount of such class’
fees, expenses and taxes resulting in a negative Net Investment Income for the class. Likewise, this Net Investment Income could
be positive for the class.

Advantages of Investing in the Shares

The principal potential
advantages of investing in the shares include:

·

Reduced Friction and Portfolio Transaction Costs. The Funds do not incur rolls
of futures, rebalancing of swaps or derivatives or other trading of commodities or securities that can lead to unseen, unpredictable
and significant expenses that reduce investor returns. However, purchases and sales of shares of each class of a Fund will be
effected at trading prices and not such class’ Class Value per Share, and transactions in each Fund’s shares may be
subject to broker’s commissions or other charges. The trading prices received, which can be higher or lower than Class Value
per Share, and the transaction expense incurred may reduce investor returns. See “Distributions and Distribution Dates—Investor
Responses to Distributions—Trading prices and trading transaction costs will negatively impact your ability to closely track
an Underlying Index through an investment in the shares of the Funds.”

·

Reduced Counterparty Risk. Unlike many other exchange traded products that
derive their exposure from unsecured or partially secured futures contracts, swaps or similar derivative instruments, the Funds
only hold Eligible Assets which are limited to cash, eligible Treasuries and eligible repos.

·

Ease and Flexibility of Investment. The shares trade on the Exchange and provide
institutional and retail investors with indirect exposure to various commodities and commodity sectors. The shares may be bought
and sold on the Exchange like other exchange-traded securities. Retail investors may purchase and sell shares through traditional
brokerage accounts. Unlike an investment in futures contracts, the shares are fully paid and involve no futures-based variation
margin calls, do not require rolling from one futures contract to the next, and thereby avoid futures commission merchant fees
and expenses. All of the exposure to commodities tracked by the Underlying Indices is obtained through the shares, which do not
expire as futures contracts do.

·

Margin. Shares are eligible for margin accounts.

·

Investor Diversification. The shares may help to diversify an investor’s
portfolio because historically commodity indices have tended to exhibit low to negative correlation with both equities and conventional
bonds and positive correlation to inflation.

·

Short Exposure. The Down Shares provide short exposure without the need for
borrowing or margin lending on the part of the purchasing shareholder.

·

Transparency. The Class Value and Class Value per Share of each class is transparent
because it will be published daily by the Sponsor on the Sponsor’s website

7

(www.AccuShares.com)
and will be based on Underlying Indices published by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC at the end of each day the Exchange is open
for regular trading (each, a “business day”). Each Fund will also publish on the Sponsor’s website a comparison
of the historical Class Value per Share performance of its Up and Down Shares against the performance of its Underlying Index.

·

Protective Features. The Funds have a series of features that help to ensure
that trading prices of the shares do not persistently deviate materially from movements in the related Underlying Index as reflected
in the Class Value per Share.

Potential Disadvantages of Investing in the Shares
Compared to Other Tracking Products

The potential
disadvantages of investing in the shares include:

·

Investor Transaction Costs and Fees . Investors wishing to maximize
exposure to a Fund’s Underlying Index (in either direction) or investors wishing to compound gains over one or more Distribution
Dates must rebalance their investments in a Fund following distributions. If a distribution is in cash, the amount that an investor
would need to reinvest in the class of shares aligned with its investment objectives would exceed the increase in Class Value
per Share since the prior Distribution Date attributable to the movement of the Fund’s Underlying Index. Rebalancing transactions
in a Fund’s shares following distributions, whether such distributions are paid in cash or in paired shares, may be subject
to broker’s commissions or other charges. Such commissions and other charges may reduce investor returns. See “Distributions
and Distribution Dates—Investor Responses to Distributions—Trading prices and trading transaction costs will negatively
impact your ability to closely track an Underlying Index through an investment in the shares of the Funds.”

·

Potential Decline in Class Values due to Cash Distributions and Redemptions .
Payments of Regular and Special Distributions in cash may cause the total value of a Fund’s assets to decline. Furthermore,
payments made with respect to redemption orders, which will be in cash, could accelerate this decline. This decline in total asset
value may adversely affect the liquidity of the market for the Fund’s shares, and a Corrective Distribution or dissolution
of the Fund may result. See “Risk Factors—Key Risks Related to Cash Distributions and the Combination of Up Shares
and Down Shares—Payment Over Time of Distributions in Cash May Cause a Fund’s Class Values to Decline. A Significant
Decline in Class Values May Cause the Market for the Fund’s Shares to Become Less Liquid or the Sponsor to Terminate the
Fund.”

·

Dependence on Reinvestment . Maintaining the level of capitalization
of most tracking products is dependent on attracting sufficient investment to offset redemptions of their shares. This is also
true for the Funds; however, the Funds must also offset payments of Regular and Special Distributions in cash to maintain their
level of capitalization. Following each Regular and Special Distribution paid in cash, in the event that existing investors do
not reinvest the distributed cash in Fund shares, and the demand for the Fund’s shares is not sufficient to generate creation
orders to offset the resulting decline in Fund assets, this decline may adversely affect the liquidity of the market for the Fund’s

8

shares,
and a Corrective Distribution or dissolution of the Fund may result. See “Risk Factors—Key Risks Related to Cash Distributions
and the Combination of Up Shares and Down Shares—Payment Over Time of Distributions in Cash May Cause a Fund’s Class
Values to Decline. A Significant Decline in Class Values May Cause the Market for the Fund’s Shares to Become Less Liquid
or the Sponsor to Terminate the Fund.”

·

Creations and Redemptions in Paired Shares Only . The effectiveness
of the creation and redemption process of most tracking products is dependent on the buying and selling activities of market participants.
In most tracking products, market participants must transact in the investments underlying a fund’s shares in connection
with the creation and redemption process (e.g., buyers of a fund’s underlying assets in the context of a redemption
or sellers of a fund’s underlying assets in the context of a creation). In contrast, the Funds will only effect creations
and redemptions in Creation Units composed of equal quantities of Up Shares and Down Shares. As a result, in order to maintain
their desired exposure to a Fund’s Underlying Index, market participants must sell, or hedge their positions in, any shares
of the class that opposes their intended exposure to the Underlying Index received in a creation. Additionally, market participants
seeking to redeem shares of one class of a Fund must purchase shares of the opposing class to complete the Creation Unit to be
redeemed. If market participants are unable or unwilling to buy and sell Fund shares in sufficient amounts to promote an effective
creation and redemption process, the liquidity of the market for a Fund’s shares may be adversely affected, and a Corrective
Distribution or dissolution of the Fund may result. See “Risk Factors—Key Risks Related to Cash Distributions and
the Combination of Up Shares and Down Shares—The Funds Will Only Effect Creations and Redemptions in Creation Units Composed
of Equal Quantities of Up Shares and Down Shares. If Market Participants are Unable or Unwilling to Buy and Sell Shares in Sufficient
Amounts to Promote an Effective Creation and Redemption Process This May Cause the Market for the Fund’s Shares to Become
Less Liquid or the Sponsor to Terminate the Fund” and “Creation and Redemption of Shares.”

Protective Features of the Funds

Arbitrage Mechanism.
Similar to other exchange traded products, the Funds will rely on the share creation and redemption process to reduce any premium
or discount that may occur in a Fund’s share trading prices on the Exchange relative to that share’s Class Value per
Share. Shares in each Fund may be created or redeemed only by certain broker-dealers or other securities market participants
who are direct participants (“DTC Participants”) in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) such as banks,
brokers, dealers, or trust companies, who have entered into Authorized Participant Agreements with the Trust and the Sponsor (“Authorized
Participants”). The creation/redemption process is important for each Fund in providing Authorized Participants with an arbitrage
mechanism through which they may keep share trading prices in line with each share’s Class Value per Share.

9

As a Fund’s
shares trade intraday on the Exchange, their market prices will fluctuate due to simple supply and demand. The following scenarios
generally describe the conditions surrounding a creation/redemption:

·

If the market price of a share of a Fund exceeds its Class Value per Share, an Authorized
Participant can purchase shares through a cash payment as part of a Creation Unit from the Fund, and then sell the new shares
on the market at a profit, taking into account the value of both classes of shares. This process of increasing the supply of shares
is expected to bring the trading price of a share back to its Class Value per Share.

·

If the Class Value per Share exceeds the market price of a share of a Fund, an Authorized
Participant can purchase shares on the market in an amount equal to a Creation Unit and redeem them for cash at their Class Values
per Share at a profit, taking into account the value of both classes of shares. This process of increasing the demand for shares
on the Exchange through decreasing supply is expected to raise the trading price of a share to meet its Class Value per Share.

These processes
are referred to as the “arbitrage mechanism.” The arbitrage mechanism helps to minimize the difference between the
trading price of a share of a Fund and its Class Value per Share. Over time, these buying and selling pressures should balance
out, and a share’s market trading price is expected to remain at a level close to its Class Value per Share. The arbitrage
mechanism provided by the creation and redemption process is designed, and required, in order to maintain the relationship between
the market trading price of shares and their Class Values per Share between Distribution Dates. The Class Value per Share Limitation
is not expected to have an impact on the arbitrage mechanism because it serves to limit the responsiveness of the Funds to extreme
Underlying Index movements and will apply regardless of any premium or discount condition in a Fund’s shares’ trading
prices.

Unlike other exchange
traded products, and for the protection of investors in the Funds, the Funds have an additional set of protective features built
in to ensure that the shares track their intended Underlying Index.

These protective
features include:

·

Regular Distributions;

·

Special Distributions; and

·

Corrective Distributions.

Regular Distributions.
After each Regular Distribution, the applicable Fund will reset its Share Index Factors. An investor receiving distributions can
then undertake a range of actions with respect to the distributions which include increasing exposure to the Underlying Index,
decreasing exposure to the Underlying Index, or maintaining exposure to the Underlying Index. See “Distributions and Distribution
Dates—Regular Distributions” and “—Investor Responses to Distributions.”

engage in Net Income Distributions and Regular Distributions as follows:

Special Distributions.
Special Distributions are a measure designed to protect the Funds and the investors in each Fund during periods when the Fund’s
Underlying Index experiences unexpected degrees of volatility. The Funds will effect a Special Distribution and a resetting of
the Share Index Factors, as well as a Net Income Distribution if any class of a Fund has positive Net Investment Income, between
Regular Distribution Dates where the Underlying Index exceeds a fixed rate of change since the prior Distribution Date as follows:

A reverse share
split may also be executed in conjunction with any Special Distributions. Reverse share splits will be declared in order to maintain
the Class Value per Share for each class of shares despite a significant move in the Underlying Index. In the event of a reverse
share split, the Share Index Factors and the per share calculations for Net Investment Income will be adjusted to reflect the split
to maintain continuity in tracking the Fund’s Underlying Index. See “Distributions and Distribution Dates—Notification
of Distributions and Share Splits” and “Distributions and Distribution Dates—Special Distributions.”

11

Corrective
Distributions. The Funds have been established with a formulaic process that continuously measures for any material
deviation between the Class Value per Share of the shares and the closing trading prices of the shares as reported on the Exchange
where the measured closing trading prices are based on one or more trades occurring within the last 30 minutes of trading. If the
closing trading price for a share on any business day is not based on one or more trades occurring on the Exchange during the last
30 minutes of that day, the trading price for that day will not be used for the purposes of measuring for a Corrective Distribution.
Following the later to occur of (1) the expiration of 90 calendar days following the inception of a Fund’s operations and
(2) the commencement of the Fund’s third Measuring Period, if the closing trading prices of the shares of the Fund deviate
significantly from their Class Value per Share by a pre-defined amount (e.g., five percent) over three consecutive business
days, the Fund will make a Corrective Distribution in addition to a Regular Distribution or Special Distribution on the next scheduled
Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date if previously triggered. In a Corrective Distribution, each share (including
those to be distributed on the related Regular Distribution Date) will be resolved into a risk neutral position comprised of an
equal number of Up Shares and Down Shares. The Corrective Distribution will distribute (1) a number of Down Shares equal to the
number of outstanding Up Shares to the Up Shares holders and (2) a number of Up Shares equal to the number of outstanding Down
Shares to the Down Shares holders. The Corrective Distribution will also involve a Regular or Special Distribution, as applicable,
to the applicable class of shares if the Fund’s Class Values per Share differ on the Distribution Date. A Corrective Distribution
will be utilized to reduce the likelihood of material and persistent disparities between Class Value per Share and trading prices
as well as to limit the duration of any such disparities. In the event that the closing trading price as reported on the Exchange
is based on one or more trades that occurred before the last 30 minutes of trading on the Exchange on any day, or a Fund’s
Underlying Index is not published on any day, a Corrective Distribution will not be measured by, or triggered on, that day.

Once the requirements
for a Corrective Distribution are triggered, the Corrective Distribution will occur on the next available Regular or Special Distribution
Date. Each Corrective Distribution will cause each holder of either an Up Share or a Down Share to have an equal number of both
Up and Down Shares where the resulting total Class Values per Share of the combined class holdings after the Corrective Distribution
will reflect values indicated by the total Class Value per Share of the shares held before the Corrective Distribution. A Corrective
Distribution may be accompanied by a reverse share split in order to reduce Fund share counts.

Any Corrective Distribution
will cause each holder of shares of each class to receive the return defined by the differential in Class Values per Share of such
class calculated on the prior Distribution Date and the Distribution Date of the Corrective Distribution. In this way, each investor
will receive a distribution on the related Distribution Date based on Class Value per Share rather than secondary market trading
prices for shares that may deviate materially and persistently from their Class Value per Share. A Corrective Distribution causes
a Fund to deliver more accurate returns to investors related to the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index at the expense
of an investor’s ability to maintain relative Up Share and Down Share positions. Investors who wish to reestablish a specific
Up Share or Down Share position should be prepared to buy, sell, or otherwise transact in the shares following a Corrective Distribution.
See “Distributions and Distribution Dates—Investor Responses to Distributions.”

12

The Sponsor expects
that Corrective Distributions will be infrequent, and for most Funds, a Corrective Distribution may never occur. The Sponsor believes
that the existence of the Corrective Distribution process in the Funds will discourage attempts by traders to manipulate share
trading or closing prices and should therefore reduce the occurrences of material and persistent deviations of share trading prices
from Class Value per Share. The Corrective Distribution process essentially supplements the arbitrage mechanism for those rare
situations where the arbitrage mechanism fails. See “Distributions and Distribution Dates—Corrective Distributions.”

The Corrective Distribution
trigger thresholds are established for the protection of all existing shareholders’ returns and to protect the ability of
Authorized Participants to effect arbitrage driven creations and redemptions in each Fund’s Creation Units. The presence
of the Corrective Distribution trigger also benefits incremental purchasers by driving the alignment of market prices with Class
Value per Share and by reducing the risk that market prices deviate materially and persistently from Class Value per Share.

Corrective Distributions
will occur for the Funds after the following thresholds have been exceeded:

Notification
of Distributions and Share Splits. Each Fund engaging in a Regular Distribution, a Special Distribution, a Corrective
Distribution or a Net Income Distribution will provide at least three business days’ advance notice (or longer advance notice
as may be required by the Exchange) of such an event. Each Fund engaging in a share split will provide at least ten calendar days’
advance notice (or longer advance notice as may be required by the Exchange) of such an event. In each instance, the Sponsor will
notify the Exchange, and post a notice of such event and its details on the Sponsor’s website (www.AccuShares.com).

With respect to
Regular Distributions, the information provided will consist of the schedule of distributions and associated Distribution Dates,
and a notification, as of the record date for such Regular Distribution, on the Sponsor’s website (www.AccuShares.com) as
to

13

whether or not the Regular Distribution
will occur. For Regular Distributions that occur on schedule, the Sponsor will cause a press release to be issued identifying the
receiving class, the amount of cash, the amount of paired shares (if any), and any other information the Sponsor deems relevant
regarding the distribution and post such information on the Sponsor’s website. This information will also be contained in
the Fund’s quarterly and annual reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K and annual reports to shareholders.

With respect to
Special Distributions, Corrective Distributions and share splits, the information provided will include the relevant ex-, record
and payment dates for each such event and relevant data concerning each such event. These events will also be reported in press
releases, on the Sponsor’s website (www.AccuShares.com) and under current reports on Form 8-K as material events as well
as the Fund’s periodic reports.

In addition, notice
of Net Income Distributions for each class of a Fund, if any, will also be included in the notifications of Regular, Special and
Corrective Distributions.

Reverse share
splits will be declared to maintain a positive Class Value per Share for either the Up Shares or the Down Shares should the Class
Value per Share of either class approach zero. Reverse share splits are expected to occur in the context of Special Distributions
and are expected to be triggered after Class Value per Share declines below $4.00. No other share splits are expected to occur,
although the Sponsor will have the right to declare in its sole discretion a share split, either forward or reverse, pursuant to
the Second Amended and Restated Trust Agreement of the Trust, as may be further amended and restated from time to time (the “Trust
Agreement”). Any share split declared at the Sponsor’s discretion will be subject to at least ten calendar days’
notice to investors

Investor Responses
to Distribution Dates. Investors in a Fund who wish to maintain a maximum exposure, a targeted absolute exposure, or a targeted
relative exposure to such Fund’s Underlying Index over multiple Distribution Dates should reassess their positions following
all cash and share distributions, and all Fund resets relating to the Share Index Factors. The Funds will not compound investor
gains or otherwise rebalance investor positions to maximize investor exposure. The Funds are designed to make Regular Distributions
of cash and shares, as applicable, to facilitate regular distribution of investor gains and to promote a deliberate and regular
reassessment by investors of their investment in the Funds.

Regular and Special Distributions and Distribution Dates—Value
of Distributions

As described above,
the Sponsor will make Regular Distributions solely on scheduled Regular Distribution Dates and Special Distributions under limited
circumstances.

The Sponsor will
allocate accrued income or gains or losses on a Fund’s Eligible Assets to each share class as such class’ “Net
Investment Income” on a daily basis, where such allocation is equal to the amount of such accrued income or gains or losses
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the closing Class Value per Share of the referenced class and the denominator
of which is the sum of the closing Class Values per Share of both classes of the Fund. Where the Net Investment Income for a class
of shares is positive, such class of shares will receive a Net Income Distribution equal to such excess amount on each Distribution
Date.

14

When the Class Values
per Share of the Up Shares and the Down Shares of a Fund differ at the close of a Measuring Period (after adjusting for any Net
Income Distribution for such shares), the share class with the higher Class Value per Share is expected to receive a Regular or
Special Distribution on that Distribution Date.

The value of a distribution
relating to each of a Fund’s Up Shares (where such shares are valued at their respective Class Values per Share) entitled
to a distribution on a Distribution Date will be equal to the positive amount, if any, of the closing Class Value per Share of
the Fund’s Up Shares (after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution) less the closing Class Value per Share of the Fund’s
Down Shares (after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution).

The value of a distribution
relating to each of a Fund’s Down Shares (where such shares are valued at their respective Class Values per Share) entitled
to a distribution on a Distribution Date will be equal to the positive amount, if any, of the closing Class Value per Share of
the Fund’s Down Shares (after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution) less the closing Class Value per Share of the Fund’s
Up Shares (after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution).

Regular and Special
Distributions will ordinarily be made in the form of cash during the first six months of trading in a Fund’s shares. Thereafter,
each Fund will pay all or any part of any Regular or Special Distribution in paired shares instead of cash where further cash distributions
would adversely affect the liquidity of the market for the Fund’s shares or impact the Fund’s ability to meet minimum
asset size Exchange listing standards. All payments made in paired shares shall be made in equal numbers of Up and Down Shares.
To the extent a share distribution would result in the distribution of fractional shares, cash in an amount equal to the value
of the fractional shares will be distributed rather than fractional shares.

The Sponsor expects
that each Fund will make Regular and Special Distributions in paired shares instead of cash under the following circumstances,
provided that the Fund has a sufficient number of shares under an effective registration statement to make the distribution in
shares:

·

after the Fund’s shares have been trading for at least six months, if a distribution
in cash would result in the Fund having aggregate Class Values of less than $25 million;

·

if the Fund cannot liquidate its eligible Treasuries or eligible repos on reasonably
acceptable terms in such time as will permit the Fund to pay a distribution in cash;

·

if a distribution of cash would impair the Fund’s ability to meet an Exchange
listing requirement; or

·

if the Sponsor becomes aware of any specific or general fund size limitation in
the formal and written policy of any institutional investor who may hold shares of the Fund, if a distribution of cash would cause
the Fund to not meet such minimum size limitations.

The expected
payment of Regular and Special Distributions in paired shares under the foregoing circumstances is not an indication of a Fund’s
ability to make Regular and Special Distributions in cash while at all times maintaining sufficient assets to redeem all of its

15

outstanding shares at their respective
Class Values per Share. Each Fund will always have sufficient assets to redeem all of its outstanding shares at Class Value per
Share because Class Value per Share is based directly on the net assets of the Fund. Rather, the expected payment of Regular and
Special Distributions in paired shares under the foregoing circumstances is primarily intended to limit the impact of paying distributions
in cash on the liquidity of the market for the Fund’s shares by ensuring that the Fund’s assets remain at a level that
is attractive to many investors. There can be no assurance, however, that payment of Regular and Special Distributions in paired
shares will ensure a liquid market for any Fund’s shares. If the liquidity of the market for a Fund’s shares is impaired,
such Fund’s shares may trade at a premium or discount to their Class Value per Share. If such premium or discount continues
to exist for a sufficient length of time over a sufficient amount to trigger a Corrective Distribution, the Corrective Distribution
will cause each holder of shares of each class of the applicable Fund to receive the return defined by the differential in Class
Values per Share of such class calculated on the prior Distribution Date and the Distribution Date of the Corrective Distribution,
rather than by secondary market trading prices. In the event that the Sponsor determines that any Fund will pay Regular and Special
Distributions in paired shares, the Fund will file a current report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) reporting such determination.

For any single Distribution
Date associated with a Regular or Special Distribution the relationship between Class Value per Share and distribution entitlement
for the Up Shares of a Fund and such Fund’s Underlying Index will be the Up Share Index Factor. Similarly, for any single
Distribution Date, the relationship between Class Value per Share and distribution entitlement for the Down Shares of a Fund and
such Fund’s Underlying Index will be the Down Share Index Factor. The Down Share Index Factor will equal negative one times
the Up Share Index Factor. See “Distributions and Distribution Dates—Determination of Regular and Special Distribution
Amounts and Share Index Factors.”

Class Value and Class Value per Share

The Fund’s
custodian will calculate both the Class Values of each Fund and the Class Value per Share of each class of such Fund once each
business day. The Class Value of each class of each Fund will be calculated by determining the liquidation value of such class.

At any date of
determination, Class Value of a specific class means the value of a Fund’s Eligible Assets, adjusted for the Fund’s
total Net Investment Income, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the closing Class Value per Share of the referenced
class and the denominator of which is the sum of the closing Class Values per Share of both classes of the Fund. Class Value is
calculated using accounting methods consistently applied under the accrual method of accounting. In particular, the Class Value
of each class of a Fund includes any credit or debit attributable to such class accruing to such Fund but unpaid or not received
by such Fund. Expenses, fees and taxes are accrued daily and taken into account for purposes of determining the Class Value of
each class. Expenses, fees and taxes shall be accrued in advance for all non-business days at the end of the immediately preceding
business day.

The total Class
Values per Share of all outstanding shares of a Fund cannot exceed the Fund’s aggregate Class Values. The Class Values per
Share of all the shares of a Fund is by

16

definition the Fund’s aggregate
Class Values, and each pair of shares at all times has a redemption price (or creation price) equal to the aggregate Class Values
of the Fund divided by the number of pairs of shares outstanding.

Furthermore, a Fund’s
assets will never be leveraged. A Fund will incur liabilities only for customary items, including the management fee each Fund
pays the Sponsor (the “Management Fee”) and federal, state and local taxes, as applicable, and such liabilities will
be applied daily to reduce the Class Values of the Fund. The Sponsor will directly assume liabilities for expenses related to service
provider fees and reimbursable expenses, and expenses related to audits, tax compliance and preparation of Fund tax reporting to
shareholders. See “Trust and Fund Expenses.”

Index Disruption and Replacement
Index

In the event that
a Fund’s Underlying Index is not published as required under the Underlying Index licensing agreement (an “Index Disruption”),
the Sponsor will use commercially reasonable efforts to (1) reestablish publication of the Underlying Index and (2) identify and
secure a replacement index (a “Replacement Index”) that is substantially similar to the Underlying Index. The first
30 business days following an Index Disruption or until the Underlying Index is reestablished or a Replacement Index is secured,
whichever is earlier, is known as an “Index Disruption Period.” An Index Disruption may cause the Exchange to suspend
or halt trading in a Fund’s shares for the duration of any Index Disruption Period.

A Fund will permit
creations and redemptions on business days during any Index Disruption Period. The Sponsor will cause the Fund’s custodian
to use the last published Underlying Index level to determine Class Values per Share for creation and redemption orders submitted
during an Index Disruption Period. Since creations and redemptions are always effected in Creation Units composed of equal amounts
of Up Shares and Down Shares, the cash payment required to create or redeem a Creation Unit is unaffected by changes in a Fund’s
Underlying Index between Distribution Dates. Such Class Values per Share determined during an Index Disruption Period will be daily
adjusted for each share class’ Net Investment Income.

The Funds will not
make any Regular or Special Distributions during an Index Disruption Period. Moreover, the trading prices, if any, for a Fund’s
shares on any day during an Index Disruption Period will not be used for the purposes of measuring for a Corrective Distribution.
Net Income Distributions that would occur on Regular Distribution Dates (but not Special Distribution Dates) falling within an
Index Disruption Period will still occur on such dates.

If a Fund’s
Underlying Index resumes publication after an Index Disruption, a Regular or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be, that
was to have occurred during the Index Disruption Period will then occur, along with any Net Income Distribution, on the date the
Underlying Index resumes publication. Thereafter, distributions for the Fund will occur as expected according to the parameters
existing before the Index Disruption.

If a Replacement
Index is selected, the Fund will operate using the Replacement Index from the date the Fund adopts the Replacement Index, and will
make adjustments to its Share Index Factors as of the prior Distribution Date before the Index Disruption based on the level of

17

the Replacement Index as of such prior
Distribution Date. Regular, Special and Corrective Distributions will resume under a Replacement Index from the date of the Fund’s
adoption of its Replacement Index. No effect will be given to any Regular or Special Distribution that was to have occurred during
the Index Disruption Period if a Fund adopts a Replacement Index. Consequently, a Special Distribution would only occur on the
date a Replacement Index is adopted if the Replacement Index level on the date of such adoption compared to the Replacement Index
level on the prior Distribution Date before the Index Disruption reached the threshold for a Fund’s Special Distribution.
Likewise, a Regular Distribution would only occur on the date a Replacement Index is adopted if such date was a scheduled Regular
Distribution Date and the Replacement Index level changed from its level on the prior Distribution Date before the Index Disruption.

If an Index Disruption
Period expires and a Replacement Index has not been selected, the Sponsor will select three independent valuation experts unaffiliated
with the Sponsor to calculate the fair value of the Underlying Index at the close of trading on the last business day of the Index
Disruption Period. The Fund will then liquidate and distribute the proceeds to the holders of shares of each class based upon their
respective Class Values per Share, using the median index value of the three valuation experts. Upon the occurrence of an Index
Disruption and any selection of a Replacement Index or termination of the Fund, the Fund will notify the Exchange, issue a press
release, post a notice of such event on the Sponsor’s website (www.AccuShares.com) and file a current report on Form 8-K
with the SEC reporting such event. See “Investment Objectives—Pricing and Calculating of Class Value and Class Value
per Share.”

Class Value and
Class Value per Share Calculation Times

The Class Values
and Class Values per Share of each Fund are expected to be calculated by the Fund’s custodian based on the closing of the
Exchange on each business day, or at an earlier time as set forth on the Sponsor’s website (www.AccuShares.com) if necessitated
by the Exchange closing early.

Publication of Pricing Information

The Class Values and
Class Values per Share of each Fund will be posted on each business day on the Sponsor’s website at www.AccuShares.com.

Net Income Distributions

Whenever a Fund engages
in a Regular or Special Distribution, such Fund will determine whether any of its classes has a positive Net Investment Income.
Shareholders of any class that has a positive Net Investment Income will receive a Net Income Distribution. Net Income Distributions
may occur for any class regardless of whether such class receives a Regular or Special Distribution on that date. See “Distributions
and Distribution Dates—Net Income Distributions.”

Secondary market
purchases and sales of shares will be subject to ordinary brokerage commissions and charges. The shares of each Fund trade on the
Exchange, like any other listed security traded on the Exchange. Investors will realize a loss or gain on their investment in a
Fund’s shares based on the trading prices of the shares on the secondary market, which are expected to track their respective
Class Values per Share.

Creation and Redemption of Shares

Shares in each Fund
may be created or redeemed only by Authorized Participants. Shares may be created and redeemed by Authorized Participants from
time to time, but only in one or more Creation Units of a Fund. A Creation Unit is a basket of 25,000 Up Shares and 25,000 Down
Shares of the Fund. The Funds will not create or redeem fractional Creation Units.

The amount payable
for the creation or redemption of a Creation Unit will equal the aggregate Class Values per Share of each Up Share and each Down
Share in the Creation Unit as of the end of the business day during which the order for such creation or redemption is submitted
prior to the applicable cut-off time. If the date on which such creation or redemption is submitted is not a business day,
the Class Values per Share will be determined as of the next business day.

Creation and redemption
orders will be settled on the third business day after the order is accepted. Settlement will be effected through: (1) the Continuous
Net Settlement (“CNS”) clearing process of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”), as such
processes have been enhanced to effect creations and redemptions of Creation Units; or (2) the facilities of DTC on a Delivery
Versus Payment (“DVP”) basis, which is the procedure in which the buyer’s payment for securities is due at the
time of delivery. Security delivery and payment are simultaneous.

19

Redemption requests
will be met by distributing cash on hand or by selling the non-cash Eligible Assets for cash and then distributing such cash.
The value of all Eligible Assets of a Fund is expected to be always sufficient to redeem all shareholders at once at any time.

Authorized Participants
will pay a transaction fee of $600 per order plus 0.005% of the aggregate order value to the Fund custodian in connection with
each order for the creation or redemption of Creation Units. The transaction fee is intended to defray the transfer agent’s
cost for processing the creation and redemption orders and the Sponsor’s Trust offering registration fee expense. The transaction
fee may be reduced, increased or otherwise changed by the Sponsor at its sole discretion. See “Creation and Redemption of
Shares.”

Intra-Day Indicative Class Value
per Share

The Exchange will
publish the intra-day indicative Class Values per Share of each Fund based on the prior business day’s final Class Values
per Share, adjusted every 15 seconds throughout the business day to reflect the continuous changes in Underlying Index of a Fund.
The intra-day indicative Class Values per Share of each Fund on any given day will not include any accrual of that day’s
Net Investment Income.

Other Investors

Retail investors
may purchase and sell shares through traditional brokerage accounts. Purchases or sales of shares may be subject to customary brokerage
commissions. Investors are encouraged to review the terms of their brokerage accounts for applicable charges.

The Index Provider and the Underlying Indices

The Underlying Indices
are constructed, calculated and published by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the “Index Provider”). The Index Provider
is unaffiliated with the Trust and the Sponsor. For more information about the construction and maintenance of the Underlying Indices,
see “Description of the Underlying Indices.”

The Sponsor

AccuShares Investment
Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, serves as Sponsor of the Trust. The Sponsor was formed on December 16, 2013
and is wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by AccuShares Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a member
of the Sponsor. Under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the governing documents of the Sponsor, AccuShares Holdings
LLC is not responsible for the debts, obligations, and liabilities of the Sponsor solely by reason of being a member of the Sponsor.
The Sponsor has no experience in operating entities like the Trust and the Funds. The principal office of the Sponsor is located
at 1 Bridge Plaza North, Suite 468, Fort Lee, NJ 07024.

Under the Trust
Agreement, the Sponsor has exclusive management and control of all aspects of the business of each Fund. Specifically, the Sponsor:

·

Selects the Funds’ service providers;

20

·

Negotiates various fees and agreements; and

·

Performs such other services as the Sponsor believes that the Trust may require from
time to time.

Management Fee

Each class of a
Fund pays the Sponsor the Management Fee, monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to the percentage of its average daily Class Value
at the rates indicated in the following table, calculated on the basis of a 365-day year:

The Sponsor receives
the Management Fee and otherwise bears all the routine ordinary expenses of each Fund, including the fees and reimbursable expenses
of the trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”), the investment advisor to the Funds (the “Investment Advisor”),
the custodian, the administrator, the transfer agent, the Index Provider and the marketing agent. The Funds bear all their tax
liabilities, which are accrued daily, and their extraordinary, non-recurring expenses that are not assumed by the Sponsor under
the Trust Agreement. Expenses, fees and taxes shall be accrued in advance for all non-business days at the end of the immediately
preceding business day.

No other fee is
paid by the Funds. The Management Fee is paid in consideration of the Sponsor’s management and administrative services and
the other services provided to the Funds for which the Sponsor pays directly.

The shares are not
deposits or other obligations of the Sponsor, the Trustee or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or any other bank,
are not guaranteed by the Sponsor, the Trustee or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or any other bank and are
not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. An investment in the shares of the Funds
offered hereby is speculative and involves a high degree of risk.

The Trustee

Wilmington Trust,
N.A., a national banking association, acts as the sole Trustee under the Trust Agreement for the purpose of creating the Trust
as a Delaware statutory trust in accordance with the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the “DSTA”). The Trustee has only
nominal duties and liabilities under the Trust Agreement to the Trust and the Funds. The Trustee will have no duty or liability
to supervise or monitor the performance of the Sponsor, nor will the Trustee have any

21

liability for the acts or omissions
of the Sponsor. Wilmington Trust, N.A. also serves as the Investment Advisor for each Fund pursuant to the Non-Custody Investment
Advisory Agreement by and among the Trust, the Sponsor and the Investment Advisor (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”).
See “Use of Proceeds,” “Description of the Fund Eligible Assets,” “Description of the Shares &
Certain Terms of the Trust Agreement” and “The Trustee.”

Authorized Participants

Each Authorized
Participant must be (1) a registered broker-dealer or other securities market participant such as a bank or other financial
institution which is not required to register as a broker-dealer to engage in securities transactions, (2) a DTC Participant,
and (3) a party to an Authorized Participant Agreement with the transfer agent and the Sponsor setting forth the procedures for
the creation and redemption of Creation Units in a Fund (an “Authorized Participant Agreement”). Only Authorized Participants
may place orders to create or redeem one or more Creation Units. The initial Authorized Participant is [ ]. A list of the current
Authorized Participants can be obtained from the Sponsor. The Sponsor will provide the form of the Authorized Participant Agreement.

Transfer Agent

State Street Bank
and Trust Company, a Massachusetts trust company, serves as the transfer agent for each Fund pursuant to appointment by the Sponsor
and the terms of the agreement to provide certain services to the Funds (the “Transfer Agency and Service Agreement”).
The transfer agent, among other things, provides transfer agent services with respect to the creation and redemption of Creation
Units. The transfer agent will receive from Authorized Participants creation and redemption orders and deliver acceptances and
rejections of such orders to Authorized Participants as well as coordinate the transmission of such orders and instructions among
the Sponsor and the Authorized Participants.

Custodian

State Street
Bank and Trust Company, a Massachusetts trust company, serves as the custodian for each Fund pursuant to appointment by the Trust
and the terms of a domestic custodian agreement (the “Custodian Agreement”). The custodian will hold each Fund’s
securities and cash, and will perform each Fund’s Class Value and Class Value per Share calculations.

Administrator

State Street
Bank and Trust Company, a Massachusetts trust company, serves as the administrator for each Fund pursuant to appointment by the
Sponsor and the terms of an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”). The administrator, among other
things, performs or supervises the performance of services necessary for the operation and administration of the Funds (other than
making investment decisions or providing services provided by other service providers), including accounting and other fund administrative
services.

22

The Marketing Agent

Foreside Fund
Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Foreside”), serves as the marketing agent pursuant to the terms
of a marketing agent agreement (the “Marketing Agent Agreement”) and assists the Sponsor with certain functions and
duties relating to marketing of the Funds, including reviewing and approving marketing materials. The Sponsor pays the marketing
agent’s fees and reimbursable expenses. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Clearance and Settlement

The shares of each
Fund are evidenced by global certificates that the Fund issues to DTC. The shares of each Fund are available only in book-entry
form. Shareholders may hold shares of any Fund through DTC, if they are DTC Participants, or indirectly through entities that are
DTC Participants.

Use of Proceeds

Proceeds from the
issuance of each Fund’s shares will be invested only in Eligible Assets. See “Use of Proceeds.”

Additional Expenses of the Funds and the Shareholders

Except for the
Management Fee and certain expenses, costs and taxes described below, no Fund will bear any further expenses. See “Trust
and Fund Expenses” and “Description of the Shares & Certain Terms of the Trust Agreement—The Sponsor.”
As described below, the Sponsor will pay all additional expenses of the Funds and the Trust. Each Fund’s expenses, fees and
taxes shall be accrued in advance for all non-business days at the end of the immediately preceding business day.

23

Organization and Offering Expenses

Expenses incurred in connection with organizing the Trust and each Fund and the registration and initial offering of its shares will be paid by the Sponsor. Expenses incurred in connection with the continuous offering of shares of each Fund after the commencement of its trading and operations will also be paid by the Sponsor.

Routine Operational, Administrative, and Other Ordinary Expenses

The Sponsor will pay all of the routine operational, administrative, and other ordinary expenses of each Fund, including, but not limited to, computer services expenses, the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Investment Advisor, the custodian, the administrator, the transfer agent, the Index Provider, the marketing agent and any other service providers of the Funds, legal and accounting fees and expenses, filing fees, and printing, mailing and duplication costs.

Non-Recurring Fees and Expenses

All extraordinary, non-recurring expenses (referred to as extraordinary fees and expenses in the Trust Agreement), if any, will be borne by the affected Funds. Extraordinary, non-recurring expenses include, without limitation, legal claims and liabilities, litigation costs or indemnification or other unanticipated expenses. Such fees and expenses, by their nature, are unpredictable with respect to timing and amount. Extraordinary fees and expenses affecting the Trust as a whole will be prorated to each series of the Trust according to its respective aggregate Class Values. The Sponsor generally will allocate a Fund’s extraordinary fees and expenses to each share class of a Fund in proportion to the Class Value of such class.

Brokerage Commissions

Retail investors may purchase and sell shares through traditional brokerage accounts. Investors may be charged a customary commission by their brokers in connection with purchases or sales of shares that will vary from investor to investor and may reduce investor returns. Investors are encouraged to review the terms of their brokerage accounts for applicable charges.

24

Other Transaction Costs

Each Fund bears other transaction costs including those incurred in connection with the management of the Fund’s Eligible Assets and management of the collateral backing a Fund’s eligible repos as well as the trading spreads and financing costs/fees, if any, and other costs relating to the purchase of eligible Treasuries and eligible repos. The Sponsor generally will allocate a Fund’s transaction costs to each share class in proportion to the Class Value of such class.

Federal, State and Local Taxes

Since each Fund is expected to be treated as a corporation for income tax purposes, federal, state and local taxes, if any, will be accrued daily by each Fund and will reduce the Class Values of such Fund. The Sponsor generally will allocate a Fund’s taxes to each share class in proportion to the Class Value of such class.

As discussed, each
Fund also imposes on each Authorized Participant transaction fees to offset, or partially offset, the transfer agent’s cost
for processing creation and redemption orders and the Sponsor’s Trust offering registration fee expense. Currently, the transaction
fee applicable to each creation and redemption transaction is $600 per order plus 0.005% of the aggregate order value. The transaction
fee may be reduced, increased or otherwise changed by the Sponsor at its sole discretion.

Fund Termination

Each Fund can be
liquidated at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. The Sponsor anticipates that the following circumstances may cause a Fund to
liquidate:

·

certain changes in law;

·

an inability to register new shares;

·

an inability to secure a Replacement Index after an Index Disruption Period expires;

·

failure to meet the Exchange listing requirements; or

·

the Fund size being too small to cover its fixed expenses and such condition being
expected by the Sponsor to continue.

The Trust Agreement
provides that, upon liquidation of a Fund, its assets, if any, will be distributed pro rata to the shareholders of such Fund based
upon the Class Value per Share for each class of shares. Each shareholder will receive its share of the Fund’s assets in
cash.

Fiscal Year

The fiscal year
of each Fund ends on December 31 of each year.

Financial Information

The Funds have only
recently been organized and have limited financial histories.

25

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

For U.S. federal
income tax purposes, the Trust intends to treat (i) each Fund as a separate taxable corporation, (ii) the shares of each Fund as
stock therein and (iii) each investor in a Fund as a shareholder in such Fund. The Trust Agreement provides that, by accepting
a share in a Fund, the holder agrees to such treatment. Each Fund will send the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form 1099s
to its investors, and post to the Sponsor’s website Internal Revenue Service Form 8937s, each year reporting such Fund’s
distributions to its investors.

As a result of the
foregoing treatment, distributions of cash to a beneficial owner of a Fund’s shares, whether pursuant to a Regular, Special
or Net Income Distribution, generally will be taxed as a dividend to the extent of a Fund’s current and accumulated earnings
and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any distribution of cash in excess of a Fund’s current and accumulated
earnings and profits will reduce a beneficial owner’s adjusted tax basis in such owner’s shares and, to the extent
such distribution exceeds such adjusted tax basis, will result in capital gain.

See “U.S.
Federal Income Tax Considerations” for a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to
an investment in the shares of a Fund.

Reports to Shareholders

Each Fund will furnish
annual, quarterly and current reports in the manner required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, including, but not limited
to, an annual audited financial statement examined and certified by independent registered public accountants.

The annual, quarterly
and current reports and other filings made with the SEC by the Funds will be posted on the Sponsor’s website at www.AccuShares.com.
Additional reports may be posted on the Sponsor’s website at the discretion of the Sponsor or as required by regulatory authorities.
See “Description of the Shares and Certain Terms of the Trust Agreement—Reports to Shareholders” and “Where
You Can Find More Information.”

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Trust is an
“emerging growth company” as defined under the JOBS Act. The Trust will remain an “emerging growth company”
for up to five years, or until the earliest of:

·

the last day of the first fiscal year in which its total annual gross revenues exceed
$1 billion,

·

the date that it becomes a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule
12b-2 under Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of its shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds
$700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or

·

the date on which it has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during
the preceding three year period.

26

As an “emerging
growth company,” the Trust may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable
to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to:

·

not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b)
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as long as it is a “non-accelerated filer,” which includes issuers that had a public
float of less than $75 million as of the last business day of their most recently completed second fiscal quarter, issuers that
have not been subject to the requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for a period of at least 12 calendar months
and issuers that have not filed at least one annual report pursuant thereto.

In addition, Section
107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period
provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Under this provision,
an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise
apply to private companies. However, the Trust is choosing to “opt out” of such extended transition period and, as
a result, will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required
for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that this decision to opt out of the extended transition
period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

27

RISK
FACTORS

Before investors
invest in the shares, they should be aware that there are various risks. Investors should consider carefully the risks described
below together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before they decide to purchase any shares. These risk
factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by risk factors contained in any prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment filed with the SEC in the future.

Key Risks Related to Cash Distributions and the Combination
of Up Shares and Down Shares

Payment Over Time of Distributions
in Cash May Cause a Fund’s Class Values to Decline. A Significant Decline in Class Values May Cause the Market for the Fund’s
Shares to Become Less Liquid or the Sponsor to Terminate the Fund.

The Sponsor intends
that distributions of cash will be a significant, if not the entire, component of Regular, Special and Net Income Distributions.
Since the Funds’ Eligible Assets are not managed to track the performance of the Underlying Indices, the payment of cash
distributions over time is expected to cause a decline in the applicable Fund’s Class Values, and the Funds must offset payments
of distributions in cash through creations to maintain their level of capitalization. Furthermore, payments made with respect to
redemption orders, which will be in cash, could accelerate this decline. If a Fund’s Class Values decline to a significant
extent, the market for the Fund’s shares may become less liquid. A less liquid market for a Fund’s shares would increase
the difficulty for an investor seeking to acquire or sell Fund shares at a desirable price. An illiquid market would prevent an
investor from buying or selling shares at any price. Moreover, a significant decline in a Fund’s Class Values may cause the
Sponsor to terminate the Fund if its continued operation would be uneconomical. Such a Fund liquidation may not occur at a time
that is opportune or convenient to the Fund’s shareholders.

The Receipt of Distributions of
Cash Will Reduce an Investor’s Opportunity for Gain in Subsequent Periods.

On a Distribution
Date, investors in a Fund’s shares may receive distributions of cash. Generally, the receipt of such a distribution will
be associated with positive outcomes and a gain on investment for the Measuring Period related to the distribution. The receipt
of a distribution in cash will generally reduce an investor’s exposure to their Fund’s Underlying Index for the investors
who take no action in relation to distributions since the cash distributed has no link to the Underlying Index. Investors should
reevaluate their position in the shares regularly, and in particular, investors who receive a distribution of cash should consider
purchases of additional Fund shares to align their holding in the shares to their investment objectives. See “Distributions
and Distribution Dates—Investor Responses to Distributions.”

The Receipt of Distributions of
Shares Will Reduce an Investor’s Opportunity for Gain in Subsequent Periods.

On a Distribution
Date, investors in a Fund’s shares may receive distributions of shares. Generally, the receipt of such a distribution will
be associated with positive outcomes and a gain on investment for the Measuring Period related to the distribution. Received distributions
of

28

shares will, however, generally reduce
an investor’s exposure to their Fund’s Underlying Index for the investors who take no action in relation to distributions
since the returns of matched quantities of Up Shares and Down Shares offset each other. Investors should reevaluate their position
in the shares regularly, and in particular, investors who receive a distribution of shares should consider sales, purchases or
other redeployments of such assets to align their holding in the shares to their investment objectives. See “Distributions
and Distribution Dates—Investor Responses to Distributions.”

Transaction Costs Relating to
Transactions Involving the Cash or Shares Received in a Distribution Will Adversely Impact Investor Returns over Multiple Distribution
Dates.

Investors who receive
distributions of cash, shares or a combination thereof may seek to achieve a particular investment objective which would necessitate
sales of Fund shares, purchases of additional Fund shares or a combination thereof. Investors who transact in the shares in response
to distributions received cannot be assured of being able to buy or sell shares at any specific price at any specific time. Further,
investors who seek to transact in the shares in response to a distribution may be negatively impacted by a combination of factors
including but not limited to: (i) adverse changes in share trading price, (ii) a material bid-offer spread where the price
at which shares can be sold differs materially from the price at which shares can be purchased, and (iii) investor transaction
costs and fees charged by parties unrelated to the Fund.

A Corrective Distribution Will
Eliminate an Investor’s Opportunity for Gain Relating to the Underlying Index in Future Periods If Such Investor Fails to
Rebalance Its Fund Investments.

Following a Corrective
Distribution, each shareholder of a Fund’s Up Shares (including any newly distributed Up Shares relating to the current Distribution
Date) will receive a number of Down Shares equal to the number of Up Shares held by or to be distributed to such shareholder, and
each shareholder of that Fund’s Down Shares (including any newly distributed Down Shares relating to the current Distribution
Date) will receive a number of Up Shares equal to the number of Down Shares held by or to be distributed to such shareholder. Shares
may not be distributed in fractional amounts and shareholders may receive cash in lieu of fractional shares where a fraction of
a share amount results from the calculation of a shareholder’s distribution entitlement.

After a Corrective
Distribution, each shareholder of a Fund will hold an equal amount of Up Shares and Down Shares and distributed cash, and each
shareholder of the Fund will have no net exposure to changes in the Fund’s Underlying Index following a Corrective Distribution.
Up Shares may increase in value due to upward changes in the level of the Underlying Index in subsequent periods, however any gain
realized by holding the Up Shares will be completely offset where an equal number of Down Shares is held. Similarly, Down Shares
may increase in value due to downward changes in the level of the Underlying Index in subsequent periods, however any gain realized
by holding the Down Shares will be completely offset where an equal number of Up Shares is held.

As a result of a
Corrective Distribution, a shareholder who does not sell, trade, or otherwise dispose of their post-Corrective Distribution
holdings will forgo gains relating to

29

upward and downward changes in the Underlying
Index until they alter their holdings such that unequal numbers of Up Shares and Down Shares are held. While the holding of matched
quantities of Up Shares and Down Shares following a Corrective Distribution will prevent any loss to the investor due to future
Underlying Index changes, such a holding will also prevent the realization of any potential gains from future Underlying Index
changes.

A Special Distribution Will Alter
the Timing of Distributions to Investors and Such Distributions Will Reduce an Investor’s Opportunity for Gain Relating to
the Underlying Index in Subsequent Periods.

Upon the occurrence
of very large moves in the Underlying Index between scheduled Distribution Dates, a Fund will declare a Special Distribution.

As with Regular
Distributions, on a Special Distribution Date, investors in a Fund’s shares may receive distributions of cash, shares or
a combination thereof. Generally, the receipt of such a distribution will be associated with positive outcomes and a gain on investment
for the Measuring Period related to the distribution. Received distributions of cash or shares will, however, generally reduce
an investor’s exposure to their Fund’s Underlying Index for the investors who take no action in relation to distributions
because cash has no link to the Underlying Index and the returns on matched quantities of Up Shares and Down Shares offset each
other. Investors should reevaluate their position in the shares regularly, and in particular, investors who receive a distribution
of cash or shares should consider sales, purchases or other redeployments of such assets to align their holding in the shares to
their investment objectives. See “Distributions and Distribution Dates—Investor Responses to Distributions.”

Net Income Distributions May Not
Occur. The Class Value of a Class May Decline due to Negative Net Investment Income, Which Will Impact Negatively the Class Value
per Share of All Shares of the Class and May Deplete Its Fund’s Assets.

A Fund’s assets
will be held solely in Eligible Assets. The positive amount of any Net Investment Income will be distributed to the entitled class
on a related Distribution Date as a Net Income Distribution. There can be no assurance that a class will have any positive Net
Investment Income or otherwise be able to make a Net Income Distribution at any time.

Net Investment Income
may be zero or negative in periods in which short-term interest rates are low. Consequently, the aggregate Class Values of
a Fund may decline over time and the Class Value per Share of each share class of the Fund may experience a downward adjustment
unrelated to changes in the Underlying Index. When both of a Fund’s Class Values are declining due to an aggregate negative
Net Investment Income, the Fund’s aggregate assets may be depleted. Such a depletion of assets may also occur if a negative
Net Investment Income of one class of shares of a Fund exceeds a positive Net Investment Income of the other class.

30

The Funds Will Only Effect
Creations and Redemptions in Creation Units Composed of Equal Quantities of Up Shares and Down Shares. If Market Participants are
Unable or Unwilling to Buy and Sell Shares in Sufficient Amounts to Promote an Effective Creation and Redemption Process This May
Cause the Market for the Fund’s Shares to Become Less Liquid or the Sponsor to Terminate the Fund.

The Funds will
only effect creations and redemptions in Creation Units composed of equal quantities of Up Shares and Down Shares. As a result,
in order to maintain their desired exposure to a Fund’s Underlying Index, market participants must sell, or hedge their positions
in, any shares of the class that opposes their intended exposure to the Underlying Index received in a creation. Additionally,
market participants seeking to redeem shares of one class of a Fund must purchase shares of the opposing class to complete the
Creation Unit to be redeemed. If market participants are unable or unwilling to buy and sell Fund shares in sufficient amounts
to promote an effective creation and redemption process, the liquidity of the market for a Fund’s shares may be adversely
affected, which may cause the Sponsor to terminate the Fund if its continued operation would be uneconomical. Such a Fund liquidation
may not occur at a time that is opportune or convenient to the Fund’s shareholders. See “Creation and Redemption of
Shares.”

The Purchase of Either the Up
Shares or the Down Shares Could Result in the Total Loss of an Investor’s Investment.

Each Fund’s
shares seek to provide investment results that correspond, before adjustment for Net Investment Income, to the performance of the
Fund’s Underlying Index or the inverse of the performance its Underlying Index between Distribution Dates, subject to the
Class Value per Share Limitation. The assets of a Fund are not actively managed by traditional methods that seek to effect portfolio
changes with a view toward obtaining positive results under all market conditions. Rather, the assets of each Fund are limited
to Eligible Assets that are held for liquidity purposes and with a view toward a short-term return and the preservation of
capital. Consequently, a Fund’s Eligible Assets are not managed to provide a maximum long-term return and even a share
class experiencing a favorable Underlying Index change can experience losses if the Fund’s aggregate Class Values decline
significantly. If a Fund’s aggregate Class Values decline to zero, the Fund’s Up Shares and Down Shares will lose all
value, causing a total loss to all Fund investors.

Risks Specific to the Underlying Indices and their Referenced
Commodities

The Shares Represent Exposures
to the Spot Prices of Referenced Commodities, and Therefore are Speculative and Involve a High Degree of Risk.

The shares of each
Fund represent exposures to the spot prices of referenced commodities. Those exposures involve a significant degree of risk and
may not be suitable or appropriate for you. The shares are intended for sophisticated, professional and institutional investors.
You may lose your entire investment in the shares of any class.

31

Commodity Prices are Volatile
and May Cause a Loss in the Value of the Shares.

A Fund’s Class
Values per Share will be affected by movements in commodity spot prices generally and by the way in which those spot prices and
other factors affect the level or value of the Underlying Indices.

Commodity prices
measures generally may fluctuate widely and may be affected by numerous factors, including:

·

Global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations, particularly
war, terrorism, societal breakdown, insurrection, expropriation and other activities, which lead to disruptions in supply from
countries that are major commodity producers;

·

Investment trading, hedging, or other activities conducted by large trading houses,
producers, users, hedge funds, commodities funds, governments, or other speculators which could impact global supply or demand;

·

Governments and large official sector institutions that have large commodities holdings
or may establish major commodity positions. For example, nations with centralized or nationalized oil production and organizations
such as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) control large physical quantities of oil. If one
or more of these institutions decides to buy or sell any commodity in amounts large enough to cause a change in world prices,
the Class Value per Share of the shares based upon an Underlying Index related to that commodity will be affected;

·

In addition to the organized political and institutional trading-related activities
described above, peaceful political activity such as imposition of regulations or entry into trade treaties may greatly influence
commodity prices;

·

Significant increases or decreases in the available supply of a physical commodity
due to natural or technological factors. Natural factors would include depletion of known cost-effective sources for a commodity,
the impact of severe weather on the ability to produce or distribute the commodity or unusual climatological conditions impacting
the demand for energy commodities. Technological factors, such as increases in availability created by new or improved extraction,
refining, and processing equipment and methods or discovery of substitutes for energy or other industrial commodities or decreases
caused by failure or unavailability of major refining and processing equipment (for example, shutting down or constructing oil
refineries), may also materially influence the supply of commodities;

·

The future rates of economic activity and inflation, particularly in countries which
are major consumers of commodities;

·

Major discoveries of sources of commodities; and

32

·

Disruptions to the infrastructure or means by which commodities are produced, distributed
and stored, which are capable of causing substantial price movements in a short period of time.

Spot prices of referenced commodities
may fluctuate widely and may be affected by:

·

Commodity prices generally;

·

The impact of liquidity in futures contracts on trading activities on a commodities
futures exchange that is a source of price discovery for referenced commodities;

·

The recent proliferation of commodity-linked exchange traded products and their
unknown effect on the commodity and commodity futures markets; and

·

Trading activity specific to the particular referenced commodity.

The impact of changes
in the price of a physical commodity will affect investors differently depending upon the particular Fund or Funds and the particular
share classes of that Fund or Funds in which investors invest. Daily decreases in the spot price of a referenced commodity or commodities
tracked by a Fund’s Underlying Index will negatively impact the daily performance of Up Shares of that Fund. Likewise, daily
increases in the spot price of a referenced commodity or commodities tracked by a Fund’s Underlying Index will negatively
impact the daily performance of Down Shares of that Fund. A share’s exposure to the commodities markets may also subject
the share to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities.

Changes or Disruptions in a Fund’s
Underlying Index May Cause a Material Adverse Effect on the Performance of a Fund’s Shares.

The Trust Agreement
allows for a change in the Underlying Index used to value the Funds’ shares. Such change shall be instituted on such terms
as approved by the Sponsor in its sole discretion; provided, however, that no substitution of an Underlying Index may result in
a change in the Class Values per Share of the Fund that is the subject of the substitution at the time of substitution or a change
in the referenced commodity or commodities tracked by the original Underlying Index. The Sponsor may allow use of a different index
provided that investors are given a minimum of 30 calendar days’ notice of the intended change in instances not related to
an Index Disruption. Shares held following any such change may be adversely affected as the replacement Underlying Index may not
perform at the same level as the original Underlying Index.

Additionally, changes
implemented by the Index Provider or other events that affect the composition and valuation of a Fund’s Underlying Index
could adversely affect the Class Value per Share of a Fund’s shares.

Further, calculation
of an Underlying Index may not be possible or feasible, under certain events or circumstances that are beyond the reasonable control
of the Sponsor, which in turn may adversely impact the Underlying Index and/or the related shares. Additionally, Underlying Index

33

calculations may be disrupted by system
disruptions or market emergencies, which may have an adverse effect on the Class Values per Share of the shares.

The Failure of an Underlying Index
to Publish Its Values as Expected May Result in Tracking Error between the Market Price of a Share and its Class Value per Share
Causing the Shares to Trade at a Premium or Discount to Their Class Value per Share. Investors Purchasing at a Premium May Lose
Money If Underlying Index Publication Resumes.

At any time, the
price at which shares trade on the Exchange (or any other exchange or market on which they may be quoted or traded) may not reflect
accurately their Class Value per Share. In the event of an Index Disruption with respect to a Fund, such Fund’s shares may
trade at a premium or discount to their Class Value per Share. Investors who pay a premium risk losing the premium if publication
of the Underlying Index resumes.

Trading Spreads Can Widen or Premiums
or Discounts Can Arise in the Market Prices of a Fund’s Shares due to Non-Concurrent Trading Hours of the Exchange and
the Markets for the Referenced Commodities of the Fund’s Underlying Index.

The market price
of a share may be influenced by non-concurrent trading hours between the Exchange and the market in which the referenced commodity
of the Fund’s Underlying Index is traded. The shares of each Fund trade, or will trade, on the Exchange, from 9:30 a.m. to
4:00 p.m. (New York time). The Underlying Index tracked by a particular Fund, however, may have different fixing or settlement
times. Consequently, liquidity in the Underlying Index or the referenced commodity of the Fund’s Underlying Index may be
reduced after such fixing or settlement time. As a result, during the time when the Exchange is open but after the applicable fixing
or settlement time of a Fund’s Underlying Index, trading spreads and the resulting premium or discount on the shares of a
Fund may widen, and, therefore, may increase differences between Class Values per Share and the trading prices of the shares.

Underlying Index Calculations
Are Made Wholly by the Index Provider and Any Errors, Discontinuances or Changes in Such Calculations May Have an Adverse Effect
on the Class Values of the Shares.

The Funds are not
affiliated with the Index Provider and have no ability to control or predict its actions, including any errors in or discontinuation
of disclosure regarding the Index Provider’s methods or policies relating to the calculation of the Underlying Indices. The
policies of the Index Provider concerning the calculation of the level of the Underlying Indices, additions, deletions or substitutions
of referenced commodities as components of the Underlying Indices and the manner in which changes affecting the referenced commodities
are reflected in the Underlying Indices could adversely affect the value of the Underlying Indices and, therefore, the market values
and Class Values per Share of the Funds’ shares.

Additional referenced
commodities may satisfy the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the Underlying Indices that represent the spot price performance
of multiple commodities (such as the AccuShares S&P GSCI Spot Fund’s Underlying Index), and the referenced commodities
currently included may fail to satisfy such criteria in the future. The weighting factors applied to each referenced commodity
in multiple commodity Underlying Indices may change periodically

34

(such as annually), based on changes
in commodity production and volume statistics. In addition, the Index Provider may modify the methodology for determining the composition
and weighting of multiple commodity Underlying Indices, for calculating commodities’ respective values in order to ensure
that the multiple commodity Underlying Indices represent an adequate measure of market performance or for other reasons, or for
calculating the values of the multiple commodity Underlying Indices. Any such changes could adversely affect the market value of
a Fund or its share classes’ Class Values per Share.

In certain circumstances
under the Trust Agreement, including an Index Disruption, the Sponsor may, but is not required to, secure a Replacement Index.
While the Sponsor is required to act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, (1) it owes no duty to any shareholder
or the Trustee in respect of any determination made by it and (2) any such Replacement Index, while substantially similar, may
differ from the Underlying Index. In the event of an Index Disruption, all Funds tracking the applicable Underlying Index may be
subject to liquidation.

The Shares of Each Fund Will Not
Be Responsive to Extreme Movements in Its Underlying Index due to the Class Value per Share Limitation. As a Result, the Return
on the Shares May Not Match the Return Expected Based on the Underlying Index Movement.

The shares of each
Fund will not be responsive to extreme movements which occur in its Underlying Index during a single Measuring Period due to the
Class Value per Share Limitation. Consequently, investors may not be able to accurately hedge their positions through the use of
proxy hedges. To the extent the Class Value per Share Limitation occurs with respect to any Fund, the return on the Fund’s
shares will not match the return expected based on the movement of its Underlying Index.

Risks Related to All Funds

The Funds have No Operating History,
and, as a Result, Investors Have No Performance History to Serve as a Factor for Evaluating an Investment in the Funds.

The Funds have no
operating history upon which to evaluate an investor’s investment in the Funds. Although past performance is not necessarily
indicative of future results, if the Funds had longer performance histories, such performance histories might provide investors
with more information on which to evaluate an investment in the Funds. Likewise, certain Funds’ Underlying Indices have a
limited history, whereas a longer history might provide investors with more information on which to evaluate an investment in the
Fund’s shares.

The Sponsor Has No Experience
Managing Investment Vehicles.

The Sponsor is recently
formed, and has not previously managed any investment vehicles. There can be no assurance that the past experience of the Sponsor’s
management team will be sufficient to successfully operate the Funds.

35

Each Fund May Incur, and Will
Bear the Costs of Any, Non-Recurring and Unusual Fees and Expenses, Which Costs Would Decrease Such Fund’s Class Value
per Share for Each Class and Adversely Impact an Investment in the Shares. The Class Values of a Fund, When Adjusted for Net Investment
Income, Will Not Replicate the Exact Value of the Fund’s Underlying Index.

All non-recurring
and unusual fees and expenses (referred to as extraordinary fees and expenses in the Trust Agreement), such as legal claims and
liabilities and litigation costs or indemnification or other unanticipated expenses, if any, will be borne by the Fund. The payment
of extraordinary fees and expenses by a Fund will result in a corresponding decrease in the Fund’s aggregate Class Values
and the Class Values per Share of its share classes. Any decrease in the Class Value per Share of a class due to the payment of
extraordinary fees and expenses may cause a significant loss to shareholders, result in increased tracking error of Fund performance
against its referenced Underlying Index or result in termination of the Fund at a time that is disadvantageous to shareholders.
Any reduction or increase in Class Values of a Fund due to negative or positive Net Investment Income will cause such Fund’s
share classes’ Class Values per Share to deviate from the exact changes in value of the Fund’s Underlying Index, thereby
increasing the Fund’s tracking error over a Measuring Period.

The Inability to Register or Otherwise
Obtain Regulatory Approval for the Sale of Additional Shares, Among Other Things, May Result in Tracking Error between the Market
Price of a Share and its Class Value per Share Causing the Shares to Trade at a Premium or Discount to Their Class Value per Share.
Investors Purchasing at a Premium May Lose Money If These Factors Are Later Alleviated.

At any time, the
trading price of a Fund’s shares on the Exchange may not reflect the Class Value per Share of those shares. Premium pricing
of a Fund’s shares to their Class Value per Share may result from a number of conditions, including, but not limited to,
the Trust’s inability to obtain regulatory approval from the SEC, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”),
or other regulators for the registration or sale of additional shares of such Fund. Investors who pay a premium risk losing the
premium if demand for shares abates or the Fund is able to offer and sell more shares.

There are Credit and Liquidity
Risks Associated with Eligible Repos.

Each Fund’s
assets may be held in cash, eligible Treasuries, or eligible repos. Collateralized repurchase agreements for eligible repos involve
an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale
price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity
of the purchased security. As protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the buyer receives
collateral marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental
amount. Although the collateralized repurchase agreements that the Funds enter into require that counterparties (which act as original
sellers) over-collateralize the amount owed to a Fund with U.S. Treasury securities, there is a risk that such collateral could
decline in price at the same time that the counterparty defaults on its obligation to repurchase the security. If this occurs,
a Fund

36

may incur losses or delays in receiving
proceeds. To minimize these risks, the Funds typically enter into transactions only with major global financial institutions.

Bankruptcy or Insolvency of a
Counterparty to a Fund’s Eligible Repos or the Collateral Custodian for Such Repos May Impair or Delay a Fund’s Ability
to Pay for the Redemption of Its Shares, Cause Its Shares to Trade at a Discount to Their Class Value per Share or Otherwise Cause
Investors to Lose All or a Substantial Part of Their Investment and Also Cause It to Make Regular or Special Distributions in Paired
Shares.

There is a risk
that the collateral held by the collateral agent pursuant to a Fund’s eligible repos would not be immediately or ultimately
available for liquidation and transfer to a Fund upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of a repurchase agreement counterparty or the
collateral agent, including due to court proceedings necessary to prove and enforce the Fund’s rights in and to the collateral.
Such proceedings could take months or longer, during which time the Class Values of the Fund would be impaired and the Fund would
not track its Underlying Index and during which time redemptions by Authorized Participants and liquidity in secondary markets
could be suspended. Additional expense would be incurred by the Fund to enforce rights in such proceedings with no guarantee of
success. Consequently, a Fund’s shares could trade at a discount to their Class Value per Share or an investor could lose
all or a substantial part of their investment in shares. A Fund may also make Regular or Special Distributions in paired shares
rather than cash as a result of such bankruptcy or insolvency.

Investors Cannot Be Assured of
the Sponsor’s Continued Services, the Discontinuance of Which May Be Detrimental to the Funds.

Investors cannot
be assured that the Sponsor will be able to continue to service the Funds for any length of time. If the Sponsor discontinues its
activities on behalf of the Funds, the Funds may be adversely affected, as there may be no entity servicing the Funds for a period
of time.

The Lack of Active Trading Markets
for the Shares of the Funds May Result in Losses on Investors’ Investments at the Time of Disposition of Shares.

Although the shares
of the Funds are or will be publicly listed and traded on the Exchange, there can be no guarantee that an active trading market
for the shares of the Funds will develop or be maintained. If investors wish to sell their shares at a time when no active market
for them exists, the price investors receive for their shares, assuming that investors are able to sell them, likely will be lower
than the price that investors would receive if an active market did exist.

Investors May Be Adversely Affected
by Redemption or Creation Orders That Are Subject to Postponement, Suspension or Rejection under Certain Circumstances.

A Fund may, in its
discretion, suspend the right of creation or redemption or may postpone the redemption or purchase settlement date, for (1) any
period during which the Exchange is closed, or when trading is suspended or restricted on the Exchange, (2) any period during which
an emergency exists as a result of which the fulfillment of a purchase order or redemption order is not reasonably practicable,
or (3) such other period as the Sponsor

37

determines to be necessary for the protection
of the shareholders of the Funds. In addition, a Fund may reject a purchase order or redemption order if the order is not in proper
form as described in the Authorized Participant Agreement, if the Sponsor believes that the order would have adverse consequences
to a Fund or its shareholders, if the fulfillment of the order would be unlawful or if circumstances outside the control of the
Sponsor make it, for all practical purposes, not feasible to process creations or redemptions. Any such postponement, suspension
or rejection of redemptions could adversely affect a redeeming Authorized Participant. For example, the resulting delay may adversely
affect the value of the Authorized Participant’s redemption proceeds if the Class Value per Share of a share class or the
aggregate Class Values of a Fund declines during the period of delay. The Funds disclaim any liability for any loss or damage that
may result from any such postponement suspension or rejection. Postponement or suspension of creation privileges may adversely
impact how the shares are traded and arbitraged on the secondary market, which could cause them to trade at levels materially different
(premiums and discounts) from their respective Class Values per Share.

Competing Claims of Intellectual
Property Rights May Adversely Affect the Funds and an Investment in the Shares.

Although the Sponsor
does not anticipate that claims relating to intellectual property will adversely impact the Funds, it is impossible to provide
definite assurances that no such negative impact will occur. The Sponsor believes that it has properly licensed or obtained the
appropriate consent of all necessary parties with respect to intellectual property rights. However, other third parties could allege
ownership as to such rights and may bring an action in asserting their claims. To the extent any action is brought by a third party
asserting such rights, the expenses incurred in litigating, negotiating, cross-licensing or otherwise settling such claims
may adversely affect the Funds.

Investors May Be Adversely Affected
by an Overstatement or Understatement of the Class Value of a Class or Its Class Value per Share due to the Valuation Method Employed
on the Date of Such Calculation.

The custodian
will calculate both the Class Value of each class and its Class Value per Share. The Class Value of each class of each Fund will
be calculated by determining the value of the Eligible Assets held by such Fund attributable to such class based on changes in
the Fund’s Underlying Index (subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation) and Net Investment Income. The Class Value
per Share of each share of a Fund will be calculated by the custodian by taking its class’ Class Value and dividing it by
the number of shares of such class outstanding at the time of determination. There can be no assurance that the custodian’s
determination of the value of the Fund’s Eligible Assets will be accurate, and any inaccuracy may result in an overstatement
or understatement of the Class Value of a class of the Fund or its Class Value per Share.

Shareholders’ Interest Is
Limited to the Value of a Fund’s Assets.

Shares will be interests
solely in the Fund issuing them. In particular, a Fund’s shares will not be interests in, obligations or responsibilities
of, or guaranteed by, other series of the Trust, the Trust, the Trustee, the Sponsor, the Index Provider, any direct or indirect
shareholder,

38

or any Authorized Participant. If the
net proceeds received by a Fund upon its realization of its assets are less than the aggregate amount payable in such circumstances
in respect of such Fund, the interests of a shareholder in respect of such Fund will be limited to the amount of the net proceeds
so realized. No other assets of the Trust or assets of any other series of the Trust will be available for payment of such shortfall,
and the rights of shareholders to receive any further amounts in respect of such interests shall be extinguished.

The Liquidity of the Shares May
Also Be Affected by the Withdrawal from Participation of Authorized Participants, Which Could Adversely Affect the Market Price
of the Shares.

In the event that
one or more Authorized Participants which have substantial interests in the shares withdraw from participation, the liquidity of
the shares will likely decrease, which could adversely affect the market price of the shares and result in investors incurring
a loss on their investment.

Shareholders that Are Not Authorized
Participants May Only Purchase or Sell Their Shares in Secondary Trading Markets, and the Conditions Associated with Trading in
Secondary Markets May Adversely Affect an Investor’s Investment in the Shares.

Only Authorized
Participants may create or redeem Creation Units. Such creations and redemptions will always be effected in pairs. All other investors
that desire to purchase or sell shares must do so through the Exchange or in other markets, if any, in which the shares may be
traded.

The Applicable Exchange May Halt
Trading in the Shares of a Fund Which Would Adversely Impact an Investor’s Ability to Sell Shares.

Trading in shares
of a Fund may be halted due to market conditions or, in light of the applicable Exchange rules and procedures, for reasons that,
in the view of such Exchange, make trading in shares of a Fund inadvisable. In addition, trading is subject to trading halts caused
by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to “circuit breaker” rules that require trading to be halted for a specified
period based on a specified decline or rise in a market index (e.g., the Dow Jones Industrial Average) or in the market
price of a Fund’s shares. Additionally, the ability to short sell a Fund’s shares may be restricted when there is a
ten percent or greater change from the previous business day’s official closing price. There can be no assurance that the
requirements necessary to maintain the listing of the shares of a Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.

There May Be Circumstances that
Could Prevent a Fund from Being Operated in a Manner Consistent with Its Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies.

There may be circumstances
outside the control of the Sponsor and/or a Fund that make it, for all practical purposes, impossible to process a purchase or
redemption order. Examples of such circumstances include: natural disasters; public service disruptions or utility problems such
as those caused by fires, floods, extreme weather conditions, and power outages resulting in telephone, telecopy, and computer
failures; market conditions or activities causing trading halts; systems failures involving computer or other information systems
affecting the aforementioned parties, as well as DTC, NSCC, or any other participant in the purchase process; and similar

39

extraordinary events. Accordingly, while
the Sponsor has implemented and tested a business continuity plan that transfers functions of any disrupted facility to another
location and has effected a disaster recovery plan, circumstances, such as those above, may prevent a Fund from being operated
in a manner consistent with its investment objective and principal investment strategies.

Risks Related to Legal Form of the Fund

Shareholders Do Not Have the Protections
Associated with Ownership of Shares in an Investment Company Registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment
Company Act”) or the Ownership of Interests in a Commodity Pool Whose Operator Is Registered under the Commodities Exchange
Act (the “CEA”).

None of the Funds
are subject to registration or regulation under the Investment Company Act and neither the Sponsor nor the Trust are subject to
registration or regulation as commodity pool operators under the CEA. Consequently, shareholders do not have the regulatory protections
provided to investors in registered investment companies or commodity pools.

The Class Values per Share of
the Shares Will Be Adversely Affected If the Funds Are Required to Indemnify the Trustee or the Sponsor.

Under the Trust
Agreement, the Trustee and the Sponsor have the right to be indemnified for any liability or expense incurred with respect to the
Trust without the Trustee’s or the Sponsor’s, as applicable, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Such
indemnification obligation means a Fund may be required to sell assets in order to cover losses or liability suffered by the Sponsor
or by the Trustee. Any such sale would reduce the aggregate Class Values of one or more of the Funds.

The Trust Agreement Contains Provisions
that Explicitly Eliminate Duties, Including Fiduciary Duties, of the Sponsor and Limit Remedies Available to Investors for Actions
that Might, Absent Such Provisions, Constitute a Breach of Duty.

The Trust Agreement
contains provisions that expressly eliminate duties, including fiduciary duties, of the Sponsor and its affiliates. See “Description
of the Shares & Certain Terms of the Trust Agreement—Duties of the Sponsor; Limitation of Sponsor Liability; Indemnification
of Sponsor.” The elimination of fiduciary duties under the Trust Agreement is expressly permitted by Delaware law. As a result,
investors will only have recourse and be able to seek remedies against the Sponsor if it breaches its obligations under the Trust
Agreement, including the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Unless the Sponsor breaches its obligations under the
Trust Agreement, investors will not have any recourse against the Sponsor even if the Sponsor were to act in a manner that was
inconsistent with traditional fiduciary duties, which fiduciary duties do not apply to the Sponsor under the Trust Agreement. Furthermore,
even if there has been a breach of the obligations set forth in the Trust Agreement, the Trust Agreement provides that that the
Sponsor and its affiliates or their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, managers or employees (the
“Sponsor Related Parties”) shall have no liability to the Trust or to any shareholder, Authorized Participant or any

40

other Sponsor Related Party for any
loss suffered by the Trust that arises out of any action or inaction of such Sponsor Related Party, if such Sponsor Related Party,
in good faith, determined that such course of conduct was in the best interest of the Trust and such course of conduct did not
constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by such Sponsor Related Party. These provisions are detrimental to
investors because they restrict the remedies available to the Trust, the Funds and their shareholders for actions that without
such limitations might constitute breaches of duty including fiduciary duties.

The Sponsor will
manage the business and affairs of the Trust and the Funds. Conflicts of interest may arise among the Sponsor and its affiliates,
on the one hand, and the Trust, the Funds and their shareholders, on the other hand. As a result of these conflicts, the Sponsor
may favor its own interests and the interests of its affiliates over the Trust, the Funds and their shareholders. These potential
conflicts include, among others, the following:

·

The Sponsor is allowed to take into account the interests of parties other than, and
has no fiduciary duties to, the Trust, the Funds and their shareholders in resolving conflicts of interest;

·

As discussed above, the Sponsor has limited its liability and reduced or eliminated
its duties, including fiduciary duties, under the Trust Agreement, which limitations also restrict the remedies available to the
Trust, the Funds and shareholders for actions that, without these limitations, might constitute breaches of duty, including fiduciary
duties. In addition, the Trust and the Funds have agreed to indemnify the Sponsor and its affiliates to the fullest extent permitted
by law, except with respect to conduct involving gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such party. By investing
in the shares, investors will have agreed and consented to the provisions set forth in the Trust Agreement, including the provisions
regarding conflicts of interest situations that, in the absence of such provisions, might constitute a breach of fiduciary or
other duties under applicable law;

·

The Trust Agreement does not restrict the Sponsor from causing the Trust, on behalf
of the Funds, to pay affiliates of the Sponsor for any services rendered, or to enter into additional contractual arrangements
with any of these entities, so long as the terms of any such additional contractual arrangements are fair and reasonable as determined
under the Trust Agreement;

·

The Sponsor determines which costs incurred by it and its affiliates are reimbursable
by the Funds;

·

The Sponsor, its affiliates and their officers and employees are not prohibited from
engaging in other businesses or activities, including those that might be in direct competition with the Funds;

·

The Sponsor controls the enforcement of obligations owed to the Sponsor by the Trust
and the Funds; and

41

·

The Sponsor decides whether to retain separate counsel, accountants or others to perform
services for the Funds.

See “Description of the Shares
& Certain Terms of the Trust Agreement—The Sponsor” and “—Duties of the Sponsor; Limitation of Sponsor
Liability; Indemnification of Sponsor.”

Whenever a potential
conflict of interest exists between the Funds or the Trust and the Sponsor and its affiliates, the Sponsor may take any action
it deems necessary to resolve such conflict of interest, considering in each case the relative interest of each party (including
its own interest) to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests,
any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles. In the
absence of bad faith by the Sponsor, the resolution, action or terms so made, taken or provided by the Sponsor shall not constitute
a breach of the Trust Agreement or of any duties it may owe to the Funds or the Trust or investors at law, in equity or otherwise.

This differs from
conflicts of interest in Delaware corporations, where a conflict resolution by a committee consisting solely of independent directors
may, in certain circumstances, merely shift the burden of demonstrating unfairness to the plaintiff. If an investor purchases shares
in a Fund, the investor will be treated as having consented to the provisions set forth in the Trust Agreement, including provisions
regarding the explicit elimination of fiduciary duties of the Sponsor and conflicts of interest situations involving the Sponsor
that, in the absence of such provisions, might be considered a breach of fiduciary or other duties under applicable state law.
As a result, investors will, as a practical matter, not be able to successfully challenge an informed decision by the Sponsor.
See “Description of the Shares & Certain Terms of the Trust Agreement—Duties of the Sponsor; Limitation of Sponsor
Liability; Indemnification of Sponsor.”

An Investor May Be Adversely Affected
by Lack of Independent Advisers Representing Investors.

The Sponsor has
consulted with counsel, accountants and other advisers regarding the formation and operation of the Funds. No counsel has been
appointed to represent an investor in connection with the offering of the shares. Accordingly, an investor should consult his,
her, or its own legal, tax and financial advisers regarding the desirability of an investment in the shares of a Fund. Lack of
such consultation may lead to an undesirable investment decision with respect to investment in the shares.

An Investor May Be Adversely Affected
by Lack of Regular Shareholder Meetings and Voting Rights.

Under the Trust
Agreement, Fund shareholders have no voting rights and the Funds will not have regular shareholder meetings. Shareholders only
vote on such matters and at such times as determined by the Sponsor. Accordingly, shareholders do not have the right to authorize
actions, elect directors, appoint service providers or take other actions as may be taken by shareholders of trusts or companies
where shares carry such rights. Additionally, the Funds may enact splits or reverse splits without shareholder approval and the
Funds are not required to pay

42

regular cash dividends, although the
Funds may pay distributions in cash at the discretion of the Sponsor. The shareholders’ lack of voting rights gives all control
under the Trust Agreement to the Sponsor. The Sponsor may take actions in operation of the Funds that may be adverse to the interest
of a Fund’s shareholders. The Sponsor’s operation of a Fund could materially and adversely affect the Fund’s
share classes’ Class Values per Share and the secondary market trading price of the Fund’s shares.

The Trust Is an “Emerging
Growth Company” and There Can Be No Assurance That the Reduced Disclosure Requirements Applicable to Emerging Growth Companies
Will Not Make the Shares Less Attractive to Investors.

The Trust is an
“emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and may therefore take advantage of certain exemptions from
various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required
to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley, reduced disclosure obligations regarding
executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding
advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. There
can be no assurance that investors will not find a Fund’s shares less attractive due to reliance on these exemptions. If
some investors find a Fund’s shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for such shares
and the price of such shares may be more volatile.

A Court Could Potentially Conclude
that the Assets and Liabilities of One Fund Are Not Segregated from Those of Another Series of the Trust and May Thereby Potentially
Expose Assets in a Fund to the Liabilities of Another Series of the Trust.

Each Fund is a separate
series of a Delaware statutory trust and not itself a separate legal entity. Section 3804(a) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act
(the “DSTA”) provides that if certain provisions are included in the formation and governing documents of a statutory
trust organized in series, and if separate and distinct records are maintained for each series and the assets associated with that
series are held in separate and distinct accounts (directly or indirectly, including through a nominee or otherwise) and accounted
for in such separate and distinct records separately from the other assets of the statutory trust, or any series thereof, then
the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular series
are enforceable against the assets of such series only, and not against the assets of the statutory trust generally or any other
series thereof, and none of the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with
respect to the statutory trust generally or any other series thereof shall be enforceable against the assets of such series. The
Sponsor is not aware of any court case that has interpreted Section 3804(a) of the DSTA or provided any guidance as to what is
required for compliance. The Sponsor maintains separate and distinct records and accounts for each series and accounts for them
separately, but it is possible a court could conclude that the methods used did not satisfy Section 3804(a) of the DSTA and thus
potentially expose assets of a Fund to the liabilities of another series of the Trust.

43

Investors May Be Subject to Tax
on Distributions from a Fund Without Having Received a Distribution of Cash.

Each Fund intends
to treat Regular and Special Distributions of shares to an investor as distributions of property to such investor for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. Such distributions will be treated as taxable dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent
of a Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, an investor may be subject to tax on a distribution
of shares from a Fund notwithstanding the fact that such investor may not receive a distribution of cash sufficient to pay such
tax. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations
applicable to an investment in the shares of a Fund.

An Investor’s Ownership
of Up and Down Shares in a Fund May Constitute a “Straddle” for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes.

An investor that
holds pairs of Up Shares and Down Shares in a Fund may be subject to the Internal Revenue Code’s (the “Code”)
“straddle” rules, which could affect such investor’s (i) ability to recognize losses on a disposition of such
shares, (ii) holding period in such shares and (iii) ability to deduct certain interest and other expenses allocable to the acquisition
or ownership of such shares. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for a discussion of the material U.S. federal
income tax considerations applicable to an investment in the shares of a Fund.

Risk Related to Changes in Financial Regulatory Regime

Regulatory Changes or Actions,
Including the Implementation of New Legislation, May Alter the Operations and Profitability of the Funds.

While the Funds
do not hold any financial instruments that are directly regulated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and related regulations, there could be broader market effects that impact the performance
of the shares.

For example, the
futures markets are subject to comprehensive statutes, regulations, and margin requirements. In addition, the SEC, CFTC and the
exchanges are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency, including, for example, the retroactive
implementation of speculative position limits or higher margin requirements, the establishment of daily price limits and the suspension
of trading. The regulation of swaps, forwards and futures transactions in the United States is a rapidly changing area of law and
is subject to modification by government and judicial action. The effect of any future regulatory change on the markets is impossible
to predict, but could be substantial and adverse.

In particular, the
Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law on July 21, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act will make sweeping changes to the way in which
the U.S. financial system is supervised and regulated. Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act sets forth a new legislative framework
for over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives, including certain financial instruments, such as swaps. Title VII
of the Dodd-Frank Act makes broad changes to the OTC derivatives market, grants significant new authority to the SEC and the

participants, and will require clearing
and exchange trading of many OTC derivatives transactions.

Provisions in the
Dodd-Frank Act include the requirement that position limits on commodity futures contracts be established; new registration,
recordkeeping, capital and margin requirements for “swap dealers” and “major swap participants” as determined
by the Dodd-Frank Act and applicable regulations; and the forced use of clearinghouse mechanisms for many OTC derivative transactions.
Additionally, the new law requires the aggregation, for purposes of position limits, of all positions in futures held by a single
entity and its affiliates, whether such positions exist on U.S. futures exchanges, non-U.S. futures exchanges, or in OTC contracts.

The CFTC, the SEC
and other federal regulators have been tasked with developing the rules and regulations enacting the provisions of the Dodd-Frank
Act. While certain regulations have been promulgated and are already in effect, it is not possible at this time to assess the exact
nature and full scope of the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act and related regulations on any of the Funds.

The Dodd-Frank
Act and related regulations may impact the levels and the changes in the levels of certain indices including the Underlying Index
of any Fund. Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act and related regulations may impact the manner in which certain market participants
(including Authorized Participants) transact in financial instruments generally, including the shares.

USE OF
PROCEEDS

All proceeds received
by a Fund from the creation of its Creation Units, including the initial Creation Units (which are described on the front page
of this prospectus), will be used by the Investment Advisor to acquire for the Fund’s account only specified, Eligible Assets.
Eligible Assets are only:

•

Cash;

•

Eligible Treasuries; and

•

Eligible repos.

Each Fund will maintain its Eligible
Assets in a separate custody account maintained by the Fund’s custodian that will be segregated from the assets of any other
series of the Trust, the custodian or any other customer of the custodian. Eligible Assets will only be:

(1)

held by the Fund;

(2)

sold, as needed, to pay Authorized Participants in connection with the redemption
of Creation Units;

(3)

sold, as needed, to pay cash distributions, if any, including Net Income Distributions
and any Fund liquidation distribution, owed to the Fund’s shareholders; or

(4)

sold, as needed, to pay the Fund’s Management Fee and other Fund fees, expenses
and taxes not assumed by the Sponsor.

OVERVIEW
OF THE TRUST AND FUND OPERATIONS

AccuShares Commodities
Trust I is a Delaware statutory trust organized into separate, segregated series. The Trust may offer to sell shares of beneficial
interest of any or all of the six Funds listed on the cover of this prospectus. The shares of each Fund represent a beneficial
interest in and ownership of the assets of that Fund only. The Trust may offer shares of additional fund series. The term of the
Trust and each Fund is perpetual unless terminated earlier by the Sponsor. See “Description of the Shares & Certain Terms
of the Trust Agreement.”

The shares of each
Fund are designed for investors who want a cost-effective, targeted and transparent exposure to various commodity spot prices
as represented by each Fund’s Underlying Index. Each Fund tracks its Underlying Index’s changes without the need to
hold any securities, commodities, futures or other financial instruments relating to its Underlying Index or the assets referenced
by the Underlying Index. Instead, each Fund is expressly limited to holding Eligible Assets. See “Use of Proceeds”
and “Description of the Fund Eligible Assets.” Unlike other exchange traded products, each Fund will engage principally
in cash distributions and potentially paired share distributions to deliver to shareholders the economic exposure to the Fund’s
Underlying Index. Such distributions may not represent any income or gains on a Fund’s Eligible Assets and may represent
a return of a shareholder’s capital. Each Fund will issue its shares in offsetting pairs, where Up Shares are positively
linked to the Fund’s Underlying Index and Down Shares are negatively linked to the Fund’s Underlying Index.

46

Therefore, each Fund will only issue,
distribute, maintain and redeem equal quantities of Up and Down Shares at all times. Once issued and before any redemption thereof,
Up Shares and Down Shares will trade separately without restriction on the Exchange. See “Distributions and Distribution
Dates” and “Description of the Shares & Certain Terms of the Trust Agreement—Shares Freely Transferable.”

Class Value
& Class Value per Share. The custodian will daily determine the Class Value of each class of each Fund, which is
based on the value of the Fund’s Eligible Assets attributable to such class, plus any Net Investment Income. Investment Income
with respect to a class will be adjusted during any creation or redemption order settlement period for any increases or decreases
in value of a Fund’s assets attributable to such class resulting from such order. The Net Investment Income and Investment
Income can be positive or negative.

Since the Funds’
Eligible Assets are not managed to track the performance of the Underlying Indices, the payment of cash distributions over time
is expected to cause a decline in the applicable Fund’s Class Values. See “Risk Factors—Key Risks Related to
Cash Distributions and the Combination of Up Shares and Down Shares—Payment Over Time of Distributions in Cash May Cause
a Fund’s Class Values to Decline. A Significant Decline in Class Values May Cause the Market for the Fund’s Shares
to Become Less Liquid or the Sponsor to Terminate the Fund.”

At the inception
of operations of each Fund, the Sponsor will establish the Share Index Factor at which each share class of the Fund will participate
in the Fund’s Underlying Index. Thereafter, the custodian will daily allocate among each Fund’s Up Shares and Down
Shares their respective Class Values where the Class Value for each class of a Fund is shared equally among the outstanding shares
of such class. This daily allocation of Class Values results in the “Class Value per Share” for each Up Share and each
Down Share of the Fund. Most important for the calculation of a Fund’s Class Values per Share – one for the Up Shares
and one for the Down Shares – is the determination of the Class Value of each class of a Fund, which is based on changes
in the level of the Underlying Index from the previous calculation date. Consequently, the Class Value per Share of a class of
a Fund is such class’ allocation per share of the Fund’s liquidation value reflecting changes in the Fund’s Underlying
Index in accordance with the linkage – positive or negative – such class has to the Underlying Index. Class Values
and Class Values per Share will be posted to the Sponsor’s website (www.AccuShares.com). See “Investment Objectives—Pricing
and Calculating of Class Value and Class Value per Share.”

Class Value per
Share Limitation. A Fund’s Class Values per Share will have limited responsiveness to extreme movements in its Underlying
Index that occur during a single Measuring Period. For any single Measuring Period in which a Fund’s Underlying Index rises
or falls by more than 90%, Class Value per Share will be calculated based on a rise or fall, as applicable, of 90% pursuant to
the Class Value per Share Limitation and not the actual rise or fall of the Underlying Index. The Sponsor expects that a Special
Distribution will be triggered prior to a rise or fall in the Underlying Index that will also trigger a Class Value per Share Limitation,
and the Special Distribution may obviate the implementation of the Class Value per Share Limitation. Nevertheless, the Class Value
per Share Limitation is designed to address the particular instance in which the value of the Underlying Index rises or falls rapidly
through both the value at which a Special Distribution occurs (i.e., 75%) and the value at which a Class Value

47

per Share Limitation occurs (i.e.,
90%) prior to settlement of the related Special Distribution. Consequently, the Class Value per Share of a Fund’s Down Shares
will not decline, and its Up Shares will not increase, by more than 90% in a single Measuring Period when the Fund’s Underlying
Index is rapidly rising. Conversely, the Class Value per Share Limitation is designed to preclude the Class Value per Share of
a Fund’s Up Shares from declining, and its Down Shares from increasing, by more than 90% in a single Measuring Period when
the Fund’s Underlying Index is rapidly falling. If a Fund’s shares become subject to a Class Value per Share Limitation,
such Fund’s Class Values per Share will not exactly reflect the value change of the Fund’s Underlying Index over a
Measuring Period. See “Investment Objectives” and “Distributions and Distribution Dates.”

Distributions.
Each Fund is expected to engage in four types of distributions as of certain Distribution Dates. The first type of distribution,
Regular Distributions, will occur at regular intervals for each Fund. Regular Distributions will generally occur as long as there
has been a change in the level of the Underlying Index as of the Distribution Date since the prior Distribution Date. Secondly,
each Fund expects to make Net Income Distributions on each Distribution Date to the shareholders of any class of such Fund whose
class Net Investment Income is positive as of such Distribution Date. See “Distributions and Distribution Dates—Regular
Distributions” and “—Net Income Distributions.”

The other two types
of distributions are not expected to occur regularly and are mechanisms intended to protect the interests of investors by providing
them with the expected value of their shares upon specified events. Thus, the third type, Special Distributions, occur when the
level or value of the Fund’s Underlying Index changes by 75% since the prior Distribution Date but before the next Regular
Distribution. The fourth type, Corrective Distributions, occur only if the trading price of a class’ shares on the Exchange
deviates for a specified length of time over a specified threshold amount from the Class Value per Share of such class. See “Distributions
and Distribution Dates—Special Distributions” and “—The Arbitrage Mechanism and Corrective Distributions.”

Distribution entitlements
relating to changes in a Fund’s Underlying Index will be determined as follows:

·

Up Shares entitlements to distributions from the Fund (before adjustment for Net Investment
Income) are tied to increases, if any, of the Underlying Index, subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation, and

·

Down Shares entitlements to distributions from the Fund (before adjustment for Net
Investment Income) are tied to decreases, if any, of the same Underlying Index, subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation.

Thus, shares of
the class enjoying an increase in Class Value per Share on a Distribution Date will receive a Regular Distribution – or more
infrequently, a Special Distribution – consisting of cash, or cash and matched quantities of Up and Down Shares, with a value
(in the aggregate, including all cash and the aggregate Class Values per Share of any shares distributed) equal to the closing
Class Value per Share of such class (after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution) less the closing Class Value per Share of
the opposing class (after adjusting for any

48

Net Income Distribution), except as
noted below. Conversely, shares of the class whose exposure to the Fund’s Underlying Index had an adverse effect on their
Class Value per Share will not receive any Regular or Special Distribution relating to changes in the Underlying Index and, instead,
will experience Class Value per Share dilution caused by the distribution of cash, or cash and shares, to the opposing class shareholders,
which dilution effect is expected, except as noted below, to equal in value the decline in Class Value per Share due to the unfavorable
Underlying Index change as of the Distribution Date experienced by this class of shares.

Holders of shares
of the class enjoying an increase in Class Value per Share on a Distribution Date receive an amount equal to the closing Class
Value per Share of such class (after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution), which reflects the full favorable movement of
the Underlying Index during the Measuring Period (subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation), less the closing Class Value
per Share of the opposing class (after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution), which reflects the full unfavorable movement
of the Underlying Index during the Measuring Period (subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation). Consequently, the value
of every Regular and Special Distribution will exceed the amount attributable to the movement of the Fund’s Underlying Index
(before adjustment for Net Investment Income). Nevertheless, the shares held by such holders will experience the same dilution
effect as the holders of shares of the opposing class as a result of any such distribution and, accordingly, the shareholder’s
net economic benefit from such distribution (before adjustment for Net Investment Income) is expected to equal the amount attributable
to the movement of the Fund’s Underlying Index (subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation) as a result of such dilutive
effect.

Ordinarily, Regular
and Special Distributions will be in cash, although the Sponsor will make all or any part of any such distribution in paired shares
instead of cash where further cash distributions would adversely affect the liquidity of the market for the Fund’s shares
or impact the Fund’s ability to meet minimum asset size Exchange listing standards. After the first six months of trading
in a Fund’s shares, the Sponsor intends to cause each Fund to continue to make Regular and Special Distributions in cash,
unless further cash distributions would result in the Fund having aggregate Class Values of less than $25 million. See “Distributions
and Distribution Dates—Determination of Regular and Special Distribution Amounts and Share Index Factors.”

The payment of cash
distributions over time is expected to cause a decline in the applicable Fund’s Class Values. If a Fund’s Class Values
decline to a significant extent, the market for the Fund’s shares may become less liquid. Moreover, a significant decline
in a Fund’s Class Values may cause the Sponsor to terminate the Fund if its continued operation would be uneconomical. In
any event, each Fund will always have sufficient assets to redeem all of its outstanding shares at Class Value per Share. Moreover,
a Fund’s Class Values per Share are always expected to decline regardless of whether Regular and Special Distributions are
conducted in cash or in paired shares unless the Fund engages in reverse share splits.

After any Regular
or Special Distribution by a Fund, the Fund will reset the Share Index Factors. This resetting of the Share Index Factors causes
Class Values per Share to be equal following each such distribution, where the Class Values per Share will be equal to the lowest
Class Value per Share of either class calculated in determining the distribution. See

49

“Distributions and Distribution
Dates—Determination of Regular and Special Distribution Amounts and Share Index Factors.”

Reverse share
splits are expected to occur with Special Distributions. The Sponsor can cause a Fund to declare a forward or reverse share split
in its sole discretion, but is only expected to declare reverse share splits to prevent the Class Value per Share for all shares
of a Fund from approaching zero. In the event of a reverse share split, the Share Index Factors and the per share calculations
for Net Investment Income will be adjusted to reflect the split to maintain continuity in tracking the Fund’s Underlying
Index. See “Distributions and Distribution Dates—Determination of Regular and Special Distribution Amounts and Share
Index Factors.”

The Funds are designed
to be utilized by investors who are prepared to reassess their holding of the shares at least as frequently as each Distribution
Date. Investors who hold shares over one or more consecutive Distribution Dates without reassessment of their Fund share portfolio
may experience decreased exposure to the Fund’s Underlying Index as well as a reduced opportunity of gain and loss. See “Distributions
and Distribution Dates—Investor Responses to Distributions.”

INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVES

Introduction and Fund Construction

The Funds are designed
to track the changes in specified spot commodity prices occurring from the prior Distribution Date to the next Distribution Date
or a Measuring Period. Up Shares of each Fund seek to provide investment results, before adjustment for the class’ Net Investment
Income, which results correspond to the performance of its Underlying Index over a Measuring Period, whether favorable or adverse
(subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation). Down Shares of each Fund seek to provide investment results, before adjustment
for the class’ Net Investment Income, which results correspond to the inverse of the performance (negative one times) of
its Underlying Index over a Measuring Period, whether favorable or adverse (subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation).

How the Funds
differ from other investment products. At all times, the number of outstanding Up Shares and the number of outstanding Down
Shares of any Fund will be equal. This requirement of an equal number of Up Shares and Down Shares at all times is an important
feature of the Funds, as it allows the shares of a Fund to accurately track its Underlying Index without the need for a Fund to
use hedges or proxy instruments whose value, for instance, is derived from the value of an underlying asset, rate, or benchmark,
including futures contracts, swap agreements, forward contracts and other similar instruments. As a result of eliminating the need
to utilize hedges and proxy instruments, the tracking inaccuracies and costs that can arise in pooled investment vehicles that
rely on such hedges and instruments will not occur in the Funds.

Each Fund will be
in “balance” due to the issuance, distribution, maintenance and redemption of equal quantities of offsetting Up Shares
and Down Shares at all times. The Fund’s balance of shares causes the shares to accurately track the Fund’s Underlying
Index through the distribution and Class Value per Share calculation process without the costs and effects that typically arise
from the use of proxy instruments such as futures and other derivatives. The absence of instruments such as futures contracts,
swap agreements, forward contracts, and other derivative instruments in a Fund’s custody account means that the tracking
errors, trading costs and return complexities that arise with these positions will not be present in the Funds.

The Funds differ
from many other fund products with respect to the manner in which the shares achieve their investment objective, positive or negative,
of tracking the performance of their referenced Underlying Indices. In most funds, fund assets are acquired and managed with the
objective of achieving a targeted return. The return on shares of these managed fund products is not based on the actual performance
of the targeted index, but rather the investment acumen and strategy of the manager and the precision of the tools used by the
manager in an attempt to proxy the targeted return. In contrast, the shares of the Funds will not rely on the investment acumen
of a manager or the precision of the investment tools used by a manager for performance or for tracking the targeted Underlying
Index. Rather, the return on a Fund’s shares with respect to its Underlying Index will be algorithmic and delivered to Fund
investors experiencing an increase in their shares’ Class Value per Share by Regular and Special Distributions and to Fund
investors experiencing a decrease in their shares’ Class Value per Share by the dilution of their shares’ Class Value
per Share due to Regular and Special Distributions received by the class of shares opposing their shares.

The return on the
shares also represents a total return equal to the Fund’s Underlying Index performance plus the Fund’s Net Investment
Income attributable to each class of the Fund’s shares, subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation. Since the Underlying
Index

51

tracking objective of each share class
of each Fund is met by the distribution rights feature of the shares, each Fund is restricted to holding Eligible Assets. Each
Fund will invest its assets so as to preserve its capital while, at the same time, earning an investment return that is consistent
with such preservation of capital. The income and gains on a Fund’s Eligible Assets attributable to a class may be insufficient
to cover the full amount of such class’ fees, expenses and taxes resulting in a negative Net Investment Income for the class.
Likewise, this Net Investment Income could be positive for the class.

The shares have
been designed to enable investors to gain exposure to movements in commodity prices without needing to purchase or take physical
delivery of those commodities or to trade in futures contracts. Instead, investors can buy and sell the exposure to such spot prices
by trading a particular Fund’s shares on the Exchange.

When the Class
Value per Share of a Fund’s Up Shares is greater than the Class Value per Share of its Down Shares, a distribution by the
Fund of cash, or cash and shares, to holders of record of the Up Shares will diminish the value of the Down Shares in an amount
equal to the distribution because of the dilutive effect of the distribution. Similarly, when the Class Value per Share of a Fund’s
Down Shares is greater than the Class Value per Share of its Up Shares, a distribution by the Fund of cash, or cash and shares,
to holders of record of the Down Shares will diminish the value of the Up Shares in an amount equal to the distribution because
of the dilutive effect of the distribution. Both classes will experience the same dilutive effect, and the value of the distribution,
considered with the effect of the resulting dilution, will cause the Class Value per Share of the shares of each class to track
changes in the Fund’s Underlying Index (subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation), in accordance with their respective
linkages to the Fund’s Underlying Index, since the prior Distribution Date.

Similar to other
exchange traded products, the Funds will rely primarily on Authorized Participants to use the creation and redemption process to
reduce any disparities between the trading price movements of shares and the movement or performance of the respective Underlying
Index.

Advantages of Investing in the Shares

The principal potential advantages of
investing in the shares include:

·

Reduced Friction and Portfolio Transaction Costs. The Funds do not incur rolls
of futures, rebalancing of swaps or derivatives or other trading of commodities or securities that can lead to unseen, unpredictable
and significant expenses that reduce investor returns. However, purchases and sales of shares of each class of a Fund will be
effected at trading prices and not such class’ Class Value per Share, and transactions in each Fund’s shares may be
subject to broker’s commissions or other charges. The trading prices received, which can be higher or lower than Class Value
per Share, and the transaction expense incurred may reduce investor returns. See “Distributions and Distribution Dates—Investor
Responses to Distributions—Trading prices and trading transaction costs will negatively impact your ability to closely track
an Underlying Index through an investment in the shares of the Funds.”

52

·

Reduced Counterparty Risk. Unlike many other exchange traded products that
derive their exposure from unsecured or partially secured futures contracts, swaps or similar derivative instruments, the Funds
only hold Eligible Assets which are limited to cash, eligible Treasuries and eligible repos.

·

Ease and Flexibility of Investment. The shares trade on the Exchange and provide
institutional and retail investors with indirect exposure to various commodities and commodity sectors. The shares may be bought
and sold on the Exchange like other exchange-traded securities. Retail investors may purchase and sell shares through traditional
brokerage accounts. Unlike an investment in futures contracts, the shares are fully paid and involve no futures-based variation
margin calls, do not require rolling from one futures contract to the next, and thereby avoid futures commission merchant fees
and expenses. All of the exposure to the referenced commodities is obtained through the shares, which do not expire as futures
contracts do.

·

Margin. Shares are eligible for margin accounts.

·

Investor Diversification. The shares may help to diversify an investor’s
portfolio because historically commodity indices have tended to exhibit low to negative correlation with both equities and conventional
bonds and positive correlation to inflation.

·

Short Exposure. The Down Shares provide short exposure without the need for
borrowing or margin lending on the part of the purchasing shareholder.

·

Transparency. The Class Value and Class Value per Share of each class is transparent
because it will be published daily by the Sponsor on the Sponsor’s website (www.AccuShares.com) and will be based on Underlying
Indices published by the Index Provider at the end of each business day. Each Fund will also publish on the Sponsor’s website
a comparison of the historical Class Value per Share performance of its Up and Down Shares against the performance of its Underlying
Index.

·

Protective Features. The Funds have a series of features that help to ensure
that trading prices of the shares do not persistently deviate materially from movements in the related Underlying Index as reflected
in a share’s Class Value per Share.

As global markets
have become more complex and intertwined, many markets have become more correlated, making it difficult for investors to find investments
that will help diversify their portfolios and reduce risk. Commodity price returns have over long periods of time been shown to
have a low correlation to traditional equity and bond benchmarks, helping investors to improve the balance and diversification
of their portfolios. The Sponsor believes that the increasing integration into the world economy and high growth of a number of
large developing countries have opened up significant investment opportunities in commodities markets, creating risk but also providing
the potential for profitable trading opportunities. Some large institutional investors, investment banks and endowments have been
in a position to benefit from the diversification of commodity returns because their sophisticated infrastructure has provided
them with the ability to invest directly in commodity futures and other derivatives markets. Most small investors, however, with
limited access to futures and other markets have

53

not had access to these returns. The
creation of stock exchange listed securities tracking commodity indices that provide exposure to commodity futures returns is now
giving a much broader range of investors the ability to gain access to these markets. By allocating a portion of the risk segment
of their portfolios to one or more of the exchange traded commodities, investors have the potential, if their investments are successful,
to reduce the volatility of their portfolios over time and access a hitherto difficult to access asset class.

The Funds offer
efficiencies to investors seeking exposure to commodities, and represent one of the few opportunities by which investors can achieve
an economic exposure to fluctuations in specific commodity spot prices without the distortive effects caused by investing in derivative
instruments such as futures or incurring the direct costs associated with the transport and storage of physical commodities.

Investing in the
shares does not insulate shareholders from certain risks, including commodity price volatility. See “Risk Factors.”
The Sponsor believes that the shares are a more efficient alternative to direct investment (on a short term basis) in a commodity.
The shares and the assets of the Funds are not futures contracts, options on futures contracts or other commodity-based options
contracts.

Potential Disadvantages of Investing in the Shares
Compared to Other Tracking Products

The potential
disadvantages of investing in the shares include:

·

Investor Transaction Costs and Fees . Investors wishing to maximize
exposure to a Fund’s Underlying Index (in either direction) or investors wishing to compound gains over one or more Distribution
Dates must rebalance their investments in a Fund following distributions. If a distribution is in cash, the amount that an investor
would need to reinvest in the class of shares aligned with its investment objectives would exceed the increase in Class Value
per Share since the prior Distribution Date attributable to the movement of the Fund’s Underlying Index. Rebalancing transactions
in a Fund’s shares following distributions, whether such distributions are paid in cash or in paired shares, may be subject
to broker’s commissions or other charges. Such commissions and other charges may reduce investor returns. See “Distributions
and Distribution Dates—Investor Responses to Distributions—Trading prices and trading transaction costs will negatively
impact your ability to closely track an Underlying Index through an investment in the shares of the Funds.”

·

Potential Decline in Class Values due to Cash Distributions and Redemptions .
Payments of Regular and Special Distributions in cash may cause the total value of a Fund’s assets to decline. Furthermore,
payments made with respect to redemption orders, which will be in cash, could accelerate this decline. This decline in total asset
value may adversely affect the liquidity of the market for the Fund’s shares, and a Corrective Distribution or dissolution
of the Fund may result. See “Risk Factors—Key Risks Related to Cash Distributions and the Combination of Up Shares
and Down Shares—Payment Over Time of Distributions in Cash May Cause a Fund’s Class Values to Decline. A Significant
Decline in Class Values May Cause the Market for the Fund’s Shares to Become Less Liquid or the Sponsor to Terminate the
Fund.”

54

·

Dependence on Reinvestment . Maintaining the level of capitalization
of most tracking products is dependent on attracting sufficient investment to offset redemptions of their shares. This is also
true for the Funds; however, the Funds must also offset payments of Regular and Special Distributions in cash to maintain their
level of capitalization. Following each Regular and Special Distribution paid in cash, in the event that existing investors do
not reinvest the distributed cash in Fund shares, and the demand for the Fund’s shares is not sufficient to generate creation
orders to offset the resulting decline in Fund assets, this decline may adversely affect the liquidity of the market for the Fund’s
shares, and a Corrective Distribution or dissolution of the Fund may result. See “Risk Factors—Key Risks Related to
Cash Distributions and the Combination of Up Shares and Down Shares—Payment Over Time of Distributions in Cash May Cause
a Fund’s Class Values to Decline. A Significant Decline in Class Values May Cause the Market for the Fund’s Shares
to Become Less Liquid or the Sponsor to Terminate the Fund.”

·

Creations and Redemptions in Paired Shares Only . The effectiveness
of the creation and redemption process of most tracking products is dependent on the buying and selling activities of market participants.
In most tracking products, market participants must transact in the investments underlying a fund’s shares in connection
with the creation and redemption process (e.g., buyers of a fund’s underlying assets in the context of a redemption
or sellers of a fund’s underlying assets in the context of a creation). In contrast, the Funds will only effect creations
and redemptions in Creation Units composed of equal quantities of Up Shares and Down Shares. As a result, in order to maintain
their desired exposure to a Fund’s Underlying Index, market participants must sell, or hedge their positions in, any shares
of the class that opposes their intended exposure to the Underlying Index received in a creation. Additionally, market participants
seeking to redeem shares of one class of a Fund must purchase shares of the opposing class to complete the Creation Unit to be
redeemed. If market participants are unable or unwilling to buy and sell Fund shares in sufficient amounts to promote an effective
creation and redemption process, the liquidity of the market for a Fund’s shares may be adversely affected, and a Corrective
Distribution or dissolution of the Fund may result. See “Risk Factors—Key Risks Related to Cash Distributions and
the Combination of Up Shares and Down Shares—The Funds Will Only Effect Creations and Redemptions in Creation Units Composed
of Equal Quantities of Up Shares and Down Shares. If Market Participants are Unable or Unwilling to Buy and Sell Shares in Sufficient
Amounts to Promote an Effective Creation and Redemption Process This May Cause the Market for the Fund’s Shares to Become
Less Liquid or the Sponsor to Terminate the Fund” and “Creation and Redemption of Shares.”

Pricing and Calculating of Class Value and Class Value
per Share

The Class Value
of each class of a Fund is calculated on each business day. The custodian will calculate the Funds’ Class Values at the times
set forth below, or an earlier time as set forth on the Sponsor’s website (www.AccuShares.com) if necessitated by the Exchange
closing early. Each Fund’s Class Values are calculated only once each business day.

Calculating Class Value and Class
Value per Share. The Class Value of each class of each Fund will be calculated by determining the value of the Eligible
Assets held by such Fund attributable

55

to such class based on changes in
the Fund’s Underlying Index (subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation) and Net Investment Income. Changes in a Fund’s
Underlying Index are determined by ascertaining moves in the then-current disseminated levels for the applicable Underlying
Index. The Class Value per Share of each share of a Fund will be calculated by the custodian by taking its class’ Class Value
and dividing it by the number of shares of such class outstanding at the time of determination.

The total Class
Values per Share of all outstanding shares of a Fund cannot exceed the Fund’s aggregate Class Values. The Class Values per
Share of all the shares of a Fund is by definition the Fund’s aggregate Class Values, and each pair of shares at all times
has a redemption price (or creation price) equal to the aggregate Class Values of the Fund divided by the number of pairs of shares
outstanding.

In the event of
an Index Disruption, the Sponsor will use commercially reasonable efforts to (1) reestablish publication of the Underlying Index
and (2) identify and secure a Replacement Index that is substantially similar to the Underlying Index. An Index Disruption may
cause the Exchange to suspend or halt trading in a Fund’s shares for the duration of any Index Disruption Period.

A Fund will permit
creations and redemptions on business days during any Index Disruption Period. The Sponsor will cause the Fund’s custodian
to use the last published Underlying Index level to determine Class Values per Share for creation and redemption orders submitted
during an Index Disruption Period. Since creations and redemptions are always effected in Creation Units composed of equal amounts
of Up Shares and Down Shares, the cash payment required to create or redeem a Creation Unit is unaffected by changes in a Fund’s
Underlying Index between Distribution Dates. Such Class Values per Share determined during an Index Disruption Period will be daily
adjusted for each share class’ Net Investment Income.

The Funds will not
make any Regular or Special Distributions during an Index Disruption Period. Moreover, the trading prices, if any, for a Fund’s
shares on any day during an Index Disruption Period will not be used for the purposes of measuring for a Corrective Distribution.
Net Income Distributions that would occur on Regular Distribution Dates (but not Special Distribution Dates) falling within an
Index Disruption Period will still occur on such dates.

If a Fund’s
Underlying Index resumes publication after an Index Disruption, a Regular or Special Distribution Date, as the case may be, that
was to have occurred during the Index Disruption Period will then occur, along with any Net Income Distribution, on the date the
Underlying Index resumes publication. Thereafter, distributions for the Fund will occur as expected according to the parameters
existing before the Index Disruption.

If a Replacement
Index is selected, the Fund will operate using the Replacement Index from the date the Fund adopts the Replacement Index, and will
make adjustments to its Share Index Factors as of the prior Distribution Date before the Index Disruption based on the level of
the Replacement Index as of such prior Distribution Date. Regular, Special and Corrective Distributions will resume under a Replacement
Index from the date of the Fund’s adoption of its Replacement Index. No effect will be given to any Regular or Special Distribution
that was to have occurred during the Index Disruption Period if a Fund adopts a Replacement Index.

56

Consequently, a Special Distribution
would only occur on the date a Replacement Index is adopted if the Replacement Index level on the date of such adoption compared
to the Replacement Index level on the prior Distribution Date before the Index Disruption reached the threshold for a Fund’s
Special Distribution. Likewise, a Regular Distribution would only occur on the date a Replacement Index is adopted if such date
was a scheduled Regular Distribution Date and the Replacement Index level changed from its level on the prior Distribution Date
before the Index Disruption.

If an Index Disruption
Period expires and a Replacement Index has not been selected, the Sponsor will select three independent valuation experts unaffiliated
with the Sponsor to calculate the fair value of the Underlying Index at the close of trading on the last business day of the Index
Disruption Period. The Fund will then liquidate and distribute the proceeds to the holders of shares of each class based upon their
respective Class Values per Share, using the median index value of the three valuation experts. Upon the occurrence of an Index
Disruption and any selection of a Replacement Index or termination of the Fund, the Fund will notify the Exchange, issue a press
release, post a notice of such event on the Sponsor’s website (www.AccuShares.com) and file a current report on Form 8-K
with the SEC reporting such event.

At a Fund’s
inception of operations, the Up Share Index Factor for the initial Measuring Period will be equal to (x) the issuance price of
the shares (e.g., $25.00), over (y) the Underlying Index level at issuance (e.g., 1600). Where the initial Class
Value per Share is $25.00 and the Underlying Index level is 1600, the Up Share Index Factor is $0.01562500 ($25.00/1600), and the
Down Share Index Factor is -$0.01562500 ($0.01562500 x -1). Thereafter on subsequent Distribution Dates, the Up Share Index
Factor will be equal to (x) the Class Value per Share of the Up Shares for the related Distribution Date, divided by (y) the level
of the Underlying Index for the related Distribution Date. For any Distribution Date, the Down Share Index Factor will be equal
to negative one times the Up Share Index Factor.

The Class Value
per Share for the Up Shares for all Funds at any time is determined by:

UPt = UPt-1 +
UPSIFt x (UILt – UILt-1) + UPNIAt

The Class Value
per Share for the Down Shares for all Funds at any time is determined by:

DNt = DNt-1
+ DNSIFt x (UILt – UILt-1) + DNNIAt

where:

UP is the
Class Value per Share of the Up Shares.

DN is the
Class Value per Share of the Down Shares.

UPSIF is
the Up Share Index Factor.

DNSIF is
the Down Share Index Factor.

57

UIL is
the Underlying Index Level, where for a single Measuring Period, UILt is subject to (i) a maximum value equal to the
product of 1.9 and UILt-1, and (ii) a minimum value equal to the product of 0.1 and UILt-1.

UPNIA is
the accrued Net Investment Income attributable to the Up Shares since the prior Distribution Date which equals the Investment Income
attributable to the Up Shares minus the fees, expenses and taxes of the Fund attributable to the Up Shares where UPNIA is accrued
and adjusted daily and calculated on a per share basis.

DNNIA is
the accrued Net Investment Income attributable to the Down Shares since the prior Distribution Date which equals the Investment
Income attributable to the Down Shares minus the fees, expenses and taxes of the Fund attributable to the Down Shares where DNNIA
is accrued and adjusted daily and calculated on a per share basis.

t is the
time of the related determination (i.e., the closing values as of a Distribution Date, in the case of a Regular or Special
Distribution, or other date of calculation such as a daily Class Value per Share calculation).

t-1 is
the time of the related determination as of the prior Distribution Date.

On a Distribution
Date, immediately following the determination of the distributions to the shares and immediately following the resetting of the
Share Index Factors, the Class Values per Share for the shares will be set as follows:

UPt = Minimum of either UPc
or DNc

DNt = Minimum of either UPc
or DNc

Where UPc is the
Class Value per Share of the Up Shares as of the immediately preceding close and DNc is the Class Value per Share
of the Down Shares as of the immediately preceding close, both after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution.

Class Value and Class Value per Share Calculation Time

The Class Values
of each Fund and Class Values per Share of each share class are expected to be calculated by the Fund’s custodian based on
the closing of the Exchange on each business day, or at an earlier time as set forth on the Sponsor’s website (www.AccuShares.com)
if necessitated by the Exchange closing early.

Publication of Pricing Information

The Class Values and
Class Values per Share of each Fund will be posted on each business day on the Sponsor’s website at www.AccuShares.com.

Indicative Optimized Portfolio
Value Up Share(“IOPV-UP”)

The IOPV-UP
is an indicator of the value of an Up Share’s Class Value per Share at the time the IOPV-UP is disseminated. The IOPV-UP
is calculated and disseminated every 15

58

seconds throughout the business day.
The IOPV-UP is generally calculated using the prior business day’s closing Class Value per Share of an Up Share as a
base and updating throughout the business day based on changes in either the value of the Underlying Index or the value of an equivalent
front-futures contract price. The IOPV-UP of each Fund on any given day will not include any accrual of that day’s
Net Investment Income.

The IOPV-UP
should not be viewed as an actual real time update of the Class Value per Share of the Up Shares because Class Value per Share
of the Up Shares is calculated only once at the end of each business day. The IOPV-UP also should not be viewed as a precise
value of the shares.

Indicative Optimized Portfolio
Value Down Share(“IOPV-DOWN”)

The IOPV-DOWN
is an indicator of the value of a Down Share’s Class Value per Share at the time the IOPV-DOWN is disseminated. The IOPV-DOWN
is calculated and disseminated every 15 seconds throughout the business day. The IOPV-DOWN is generally calculated using the
prior business day’s closing Class Value per Share of a Down Share as a base and updating throughout the business day based
on changes in either the value of the Underlying Index or the value of an equivalent front-futures contract price. The IOPV-DOWN
of each Fund on any given day will not include any accrual of that day’s Net Investment Income.

The IOPV-DOWN
should not be viewed as an actual real time update of the Class Value per Share of the Down Shares because Class Value per Share
of the Down Shares is calculated only once at the end of each business day. The IOPV-DOWN also should not be viewed as a precise
value of the shares.

Changes in a Fund’s
Underlying Index (or changes in the front-month futures contract proxy used during a business day by the indicative optimized
portfolio value calculation agent to calculate a substitute change in the Fund’s Underlying Index when the Index Provider
has failed to publish such index level or value) will cause the IOPV-UP and the IOPV-DOWN to change in opposite and offsetting
directions during the course of a business day.

DESCRIPTION
OF THE FUND ELIGIBLE ASSETS

General

The Eligible Assets
of each Fund will consist of cash, and the eligible Treasuries and eligible repos in which it will invest its cash from time to
time. Each Fund will invest its assets so as to preserve capital while, at the same time, earning an investment return that is
consistent with such preservation of capital.

59

United States Treasury Obligations

Any date on
which there is cash on deposit in a Fund’s custody account that is not required to make payments or to make distributions
to shareholders all such cash will be either held as cash or invested by the Investment Advisor, acting in accordance with the
Investment Advisory Agreement and on behalf of the Fund, in:

•

cash bank deposits,

•

bills, notes and bonds issued and backed by the full faith and credit of the government
of the United States of America, which qualify as “eligible Treasuries” because they have residual maturities less
than or equal to 90 calendar days, or

•

agreements
for the sale and repurchase of, and collateralized by, bills, notes and bonds issued
and backed by the full faith and credit of the government of the United States of America,
which qualify as “eligible repos,” because (i) they are entered into with
a seller that is a bank with at least one billion U.S. dollars in assets or a registered
securities dealer that is deemed creditworthy by the Investment Advisor, (ii) they terminate
the business day following their execution, (iii) they are denominated in U.S. dollars,
and (iv) they are “collateralized fully,” meaning that (A) the value of the
assets collateralizing the eligible repo (less transaction costs, including loss of interest,
that the Fund reasonably could expect to incur if the seller were to default) is, and
during the entire term of the eligible repo remains, at least equal to the resale price
payable by the seller under the eligible repo, (B) title to the underlying collateral
assets passes to the Fund or, if the asset transfer is recharacterized as a secured loan,
the Fund will have a perfected first priority security interest in the assets securing
the seller’s obligations, (C) such assets are held by a custodian bank for the
benefit of the Fund during the term of the eligible repo, (D) such assets consist entirely
of U.S. Treasury securities, and (E) upon the insolvency of the seller, the eligible
repo would qualify under a provision of applicable insolvency law providing an exclusion
from any automatic stay of creditors’ rights against the seller.

We collectively refer to eligible
Treasuries and eligible repos as “Treasuries” in the following discussion of this prospectus.

Each Fund will invest
its cash in Treasuries in order to generate income to pay its fees, expenses and taxes and to generate income to shareholders from
cash on deposit in the Fund that is not immediately needed for other purposes pending a later Net Income Distribution. Each Fund
will hold a portion of its assets in eligible repos, because these agreements mature and convert to cash within one business day,
which will make it possible for the Fund to have sufficient cash available on each business day to be able to effect any redemptions
of its Creation Units.

The Trust Agreement
will limit, and the Investment Advisory Agreement will direct the Investment Advisor to limit, each Fund’s holdings of eligible
repos to 40% of its Eligible Assets.

The eligible repos
will be entered into by the Investment Advisor, on behalf of the applicable Fund, acting as the “buyer,” and a bank
or securities dealer that will act as the “seller.” The seller will transfer U.S. Treasury securities to the applicable
Fund in exchange for a cash payment by the Fund and such seller will promise to repurchase these securities the business day following
the execution of the agreement. The seller must deliver to the Fund U.S. Treasury securities with a market value, as measured on
the date of transfer and discounted by the expected transaction costs which would be incurred if the Fund had to liquidate such
collateral following a default by the seller, that is at least equal to the repurchase price specified in such repurchase agreement.
The repurchase price for the U.S. Treasury securities will be

60

equal to the purchase price paid by
the Fund plus an additional amount, which will constitute the implicit interest that will be earned by the Fund on the eligible
repo. Upon payment of the repurchase price, legal title to the underlying U.S. Treasury securities will be transferred back to
the seller. However, each Fund expects to “roll-over” the cash proceeds of each day’s eligible repos into
new overnight (until the next business day) eligible repos if these proceeds are not needed to effect redemptions, Net Income Distributions
or to distribute cash for Regular and Special Distributions. Accordingly, the U.S. Treasury securities that collateralize the Fund’s
eligible repos will remain in the possession of the Fund until the eligible repo arrangement with a particular seller is terminated.
In the event that a seller were to default on its obligation to repurchase the U.S. Treasury securities from a Fund, the Investment
Advisor, acting on behalf of the applicable Fund, would be required to deliver a notice of default to the seller and, following
the delivery of that notice, the Investment Advisor would be entitled to pursue any remedies permitted under the terms of the eligible
repo, including retaining the U.S. Treasury securities that were transferred under the eligible repo. Following a seller default,
a Fund will have to liquidate these securities and will incur transaction costs and be exposed to market risk in connection with
such liquidation. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to All Funds—There are Credit and Liquidity Risks Associated
with Eligible Repos,” and “—Bankruptcy or Insolvency of a Counterparty to a Fund’s Eligible Repos or the
Collateral Custodian for Such Repos May Impair or Delay a Fund’s Ability to Pay for the Redemption of Its Shares and Also
Cause Its Shares to Trade at a Discount to Their Class Value per Share or Otherwise Cause Investors to Lose All or a Substantial
Part of Their Investment.”

The principal terms
of the eligible repos will be set forth in a Global Master Repurchase Agreement from a base form prepared and updated from time
to time by The Bond Market Association and as further negotiated and approved by the Sponsor on behalf of each Fund. These terms
will include (1) the delivery obligations of the seller, (2) the method of valuation of the U.S. Treasury securities that will
collateralize the eligible repo, and (3) rights and obligations of each party in the event of a default by the seller. The master
agreement will be supplemented by an electronic or written confirmation setting forth the pricing terms for the eligible repo which
will be negotiated on behalf of the Funds by the Investment Advisor. The pricing terms will consist of the term of the eligible
repo, which will always be overnight (until the next business day), and the repurchase price or implicit yield to be earned by
the applicable Fund on the eligible repo. Yield rates on eligible repos are determined by the supply of and demand for money, as
reflected in the Federal funds rate, as well as the term of the eligible repo and the creditworthiness of the seller; these rates
do not depend upon the rates on the underlying U.S. Treasury securities. The Fund will enter into eligible repos in accordance
with the acquisition guidelines described below.

Daily, except on
a Distribution Date where such proceeds are needed to effect redemptions or Net Income Distributions or to distribute cash for
Regular and Special Distributions, the Investment Advisor, on behalf of the Fund, will reinvest the proceeds received upon the
maturity of the Fund’s Treasuries in Eligible Assets. The Investment Advisor will also invest in Eligible Assets all of a
Fund’s cash funds delivered to it in connection with each creation of the Fund’s Creation Units. On the liquidation
of a Fund, all of the proceeds of the Treasuries held by the Fund will be used to make final cash liquidating payments, less the
fees, expenses and taxes of the Fund not assumed by the Sponsor, to the Fund’s shareholders. Upon

61

any redemption of a Fund’s Creation
Units by an Authorized Participant, the cash of the Fund will be used to pay the proceeds of such redemption to the redeeming Authorized
Participant.

The Investment Advisor
will select eligible Treasuries and eligible repos for acquisition by a Fund in accordance with the following acquisition guidelines
which are contained in the Investment Advisory Agreement:

•

dealers from whom the Fund will purchase eligible Treasuries will be selected based
on best execution;

•

counterparties with whom the Fund will enter into eligible repos will be selected
based on best execution;

•

no eligible repo may be entered into with, and no eligible Treasury may be purchased
from, any person who is an Affiliated Person (as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act) with respect to any
Fund, the Trust, the Trustee, the Sponsor or the Investment Advisor;

•

no eligible repo may be entered into with, and no eligible Treasury may be purchased
from, any person unless the quote from such person is the best available yield given the size of the transaction; and

•

a maximum of 40% of the funds of each Fund may be invested in eligible repos.

As of the date of
this prospectus, the most recent publication by the Index Provider describing the S&P GSCI Commodities Indices’ construction
and maintenance methodology is “S&P GSCI Methodology” dated August 2013 (the “S&P GSCI Handbook”).
The current S&P GSCI Handbook is available on the Index Provider’s website at: www.spindices.com/documents/methodologies/methodology-sp-gsci.pdf.

The S&P GSCI Commodity Indices

The original GSCI
was established by Goldman, Sachs & Co. in 1991. Today, all of the S&P GSCI Commodity Indices are constructed and maintained
in accordance with the S&P GSCI Handbook and the following discussion of the S&P GSCI methodology, unless otherwise indicated,
applies to the other S&P GSCI Commodity Indices.

The S&P GSCI,
which serves as the Underlying Index for the AccuShares S&P GSCI Spot Fund, is an index on a production-weighted basket
of currently 24 principal physical commodities that satisfy criteria established by the Index Provider. The S&P GSCI reflects
the level of commodity prices at a given time and is designed to be a measure of the performance over time of the markets for these
commodities. The commodities represented in the S&P GSCI are those physical commodities, as determined by the Index Provider,
on which active and liquid futures contracts are traded on trading facilities in major industrialized countries. The commodities
included in the S&P GSCI are weighted, on a production basis, to reflect the relative significance (in the view of the Index
Provider) of those commodities to the world economy. The referenced commodities within the S&P GSCI-AL and the S&P
GSCI-IN each receive weightings that differ from the weightings they receive in the broader S&P GSCI. The fluctuations
in the level of the S&P GSCI Commodities Indices are intended generally to correlate with changes in the prices of those physical
commodities in global and/or regional markets. The value of the S&P GSCI has been normalized (the “Normalizing Constant”)
such that its hypothetical level on January 2, 1970 was 100.

The S&P GSCI-CL,
the S&P GSCI-BR and the S&P GSCI-NG are single commodity sub-indices of the S&P GSCI (e.g., light,
sweet West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil for the S&P GSCI-CL, Brent crude oil for the S&P GSCI-BR
and Henry Hub natural gas for the S&P GSCI-NG). The S&P GSCI-AL and the S&P GSCI-IN are sub-indices
of the S&P GSCI that comprise related groups of commodities otherwise contained in the broader S&P GSCI (e.g. the
current 11 agricultural and livestock commodities in the S&P GSCI-AL and the current five industrial metals in the S&P
GSCI-IN). All of the S&P GSCI Commodity Indices are the spot versions of such indices.

Spot Prices, Futures Investments and the Underlying
Indices

The majority of
exchange traded products which are based on S&P GSCI related indices either hold futures contracts or reference a variation
of an S&P GSCI related index which incorporates the effects of holding, trading and rolling futures contracts based on their
relative expirations. Because futures contracts have scheduled expirations, persons wishing to maintain

64

an exposure to a commodity must close
out the position prior to the futures contract expiration and establish a position in the next available contract. This process
is referred to as “rolling” the position forward. Rolling futures positions forward can cause a portfolio or index
that continuously holds futures contracts on a commodity to experience a “roll yield” due to the replacement contract’s
price being higher or lower than the expiring contract’s price.

In contrast, the
S&P Commodity Indices are based on the spot variation of each index and as such do not incorporate the effects of closing out
an expiring contract position and establishing a position in the next available contract. As such, the Funds are expected to more
closely track changes in the spot prices of the commodities which make up their respective index rather than track the performance
of “rolling forward” expiring future positions.

The S&P GSCI
Commodity Indices are based on the “Spot Index” methodology described in the S&P GSCI Handbook. Each S&P GSCI
Commodity Index reflects only the daily settlement prices (“Daily Contract Reference Prices”) of commodities futures
contracts that are the components of such index (“Designated Contracts”) on each business day the Index Provider publishes
the index. Each S&P GSCI Commodity Index is based on the daily settlement prices of first nearby contract, except during the
five day “Roll Period” where the “Roll Contract Expirations” shift to the next nearby contract and where
the weighting of the first nearby contract is decreased in favor of the next expiry contract 20-percent per day during the
Roll Period. Immediately following the Roll Period, the next expiry contract is used for the index until the next following Roll
Period. When shifting to a next nearby contract, contract quantities remain consistent and relative values between the nearby and
next nearby contracts may vary.

The daily value
of the S&P GSCI Commodity Indices, therefore, are calculated solely based on the commodity production weightings assigned by
the Index Provider of each Designated Contract, and of the Daily Contract Reference Prices of the nearby contract expiration of
each Designated Contract, and do not reflect any roll yield. These components together constitute the Total Dollar Weight (“TDW”)
of the S&P GSCI. The TDW of the S&P GSCI is, then, divided by the Normalizing Constant to assure index continuity.

In light of the
rapid development of electronic trading platforms and the potential for significant shifts in liquidity between traditional exchanges
and those platforms, the Index Provider may review both the procedures and criteria for determining the contracts to be included
in the Underlying Indices, as well as the procedures and criteria for evaluating available liquidity on an intra-year basis
in order to provide Underlying Indices market participants with efficient access to new sources of liquidity and the potential
for more efficient trading. In particular, the Index Provider may examine the conditions under which an instrument traded on an
electronic platform, rather than a traditional futures contract or options contract traded on a traditional futures or options
exchange, should be permitted to be included in the relevant Underlying Index and how the composition of the Underlying Index should
respond to rapid shifts in liquidity between those instruments and contracts currently included in the Underlying Index.

As a result of the
Index Provider’s Spot Index methodology, the Underlying Indices will reflect a numerical value which does not incorporate
or account for any increase or decrease

65

relating to roll yield or to the trading
of expiring contracts into a next current contract. While the Sponsor and the Index Provider provide no assurance of relative performance
or correlations, the Underlying Indices are intended to reflect changes in the spot prices of the underlying commodities within
each Underlying Index rather than the changes from an active strategy of trading in and out of contracts based on their relative
expiries.

The Index Provider
makes the official calculations of the value of the Underlying Indices. At present, these calculations are performed continuously
and are reported under the following Reuters symbols:

Current Reuters (RIC) Symbol

These calculations
are updated during business hours on each day on which the Underlying Indices are calculated. The Index Provider has undertaken
to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that one or more reporting services publishes the value of each Fund’s Underlying
Index so long as any of the Fund’s shares are outstanding.

Composition of the S&P GSCI and Related Sub-Indices

The contracts currently
included in the S&P GSCI are futures contracts traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc., ICE Futures U.S., ICE Futures
Europe, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Inc., the Chicago Board of Trade, the Kansas City Board of Trade, the COMEX Division of
the New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. and the London Metal Exchange.

(1) WTI crude oil is also the referenced commodity of the S&P GSCI-CL, which serves as the Underlying Index for the AccuShares S&P GSCI Crude Oil Spot Fund.

(2) Brent crude oil is also the referenced commodity of the S&P GSCI-BR, which serves as the Underlying Index for the AccuShares S&P GSCI Brent Oil Spot Fund.

(3) Also serves as one of the 11 referenced commodities of the S&P GSCI-AL, which serves as the Underlying Index for the AccuShares S&P GSCI Agriculture and Livestock Spot Fund. At the beginning of 2014, the approximate dollar weights of these commodities in the S&P GSCI-AL were as follows: Corn 24.19%; Chicago Wheat 17.03%; Soybeans 14.07%; Live Cattle 13.62%; Lean Hogs 8.34%; Sugar 7.26%; Cotton 5.03%; Kansas Wheat 3.90%; Coffee 2.86%; Feeder Cattle 2.57%; and Cocoa 1.14%.

(4) Also serves as one of the five referenced commodities of the S&P GSCI-IN, which serves as the Underlying Index for the AccuShares S&P GSCI Industrial Metals Spot Fund. At the beginning of 2014, the approximate dollar weights of these commodities in the S&P GSCI-IN were as follows: LME Copper 47.77%; Aluminum 29.82%; Nickel 7.86%; Zinc 7.86%; and Lead 6.68%.

(5) Also serves as the referenced commodity of the S&P GSCI-NG, which serves as the Underlying Index for the AccuShares S&P GSCI Natural Gas Spot Fund.

67

The quantity of
each of the contracts included in the S&P GSCI Commodity Indices is determined on the basis of a five-year average, referred
to as the “world production average,” of the production quantity of the underlying commodity as published by the United
Nations Statistical Yearbook, the Industrial Commodity Statistics Yearbook and other official sources. However, if a commodity
is primarily a regional commodity, based on its production, use, pricing, transportation or other factors, the Index Provider may
calculate the weight of that commodity based on regional, rather than world, production data. At present, natural gas is the only
commodity the weights of which are calculated on the basis of regional production data, with the relevant region defined as North
America.

In addition, the
Index Provider performs its weighting calculations on a monthly basis and, if the liquidity of any contract is below the threshold
established by the Index Provider, the composition of the S&P GSCI Commodity Indices is reevaluated, based on the Index Provider’s
criteria and weighting procedures. As a result, it is possible that the composition or weighting of an S&P GSCI Commodity Index
will change on one or more of these monthly evaluation dates. Moreover, regardless of whether any changes have occurred during
the year, the Index Provider reevaluates the composition of the S&P GSCI Commodity Indices at the conclusion of each year,
based on its criteria. Other commodities that satisfy that criteria, if any, are expected to be added to the S&P GSCI, the
S&P GSCI-AL and the S&P GSCI-IN, as appropriate. Commodities included in the S&P GSCI, the S&P GSCI-AL
and the S&P GSCI-IN, as appropriate, that no longer satisfy that criteria, if any, are expected to be deleted.

The Index Provider
also determines whether modifications in the selection criteria or the methodology for determining the composition and weights
of and for calculating the S&P GSCI Commodity Indices are necessary or appropriate in order to assure that the S&P GSCI
Commodity Indices represent a measure of commodity market performance. The Index Provider has the discretion to make any such modifications.

For a complete and
current description the eligibility criteria, weighting and calculation methodologies the Index Provider utilizes in selecting
commodities and Designated Contracts and their weights for an S&P GSCI Commodity Index, you should review the S&P GSCI
Handbook, which is available at: www.spindices.com/documents/methodologies/methodology-sp-gsci.pdf.

DISTRIBUTIONS
and DISTRIBUTION DATES

Determination of Regular and Special Distribution Amounts
and Share Index Factors

When the Class Values
per Share of the Up Shares and the Down Shares of a Fund differ at the close of a Measuring Period (after adjusting for any Net
Income Distribution for such shares), the share class with the higher Class Value per Share is expected to receive a Regular or
Special Distribution on that Distribution Date.

69

The value of a distribution
relating to each of a Fund’s Up Shares (where such shares are valued at their respective Class Values per Share) entitled
to a distribution on a Distribution Date will be equal to the positive amount, if any, of the closing Class Value per Share of
the Fund’s Up Shares (after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution) less the closing Class Value per Share of the Fund’s
Down Shares (after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution), or:

Distribution Amount
= Maximum of 0 or UPc – DNc

The value of a distribution
relating to each of a Fund’s Down Shares (where such shares are valued at their respective Class Values per Share) entitled
to a distribution on a Distribution Date will be equal to the positive amount, if any, of the closing Class Value per Share of
the Fund’s Down Shares (after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution) less the closing Class Value per Share of the Fund’s
Up Shares (after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution), or:

Distribution Amount
= Maximum of 0 or DNc – UPc

where:

UPc
is equal to the closing Class Value per Share of the Up Shares at the time of determination of a distribution after adjusting for
any Net Income Distribution; and

DNc
is equal to the closing Class Value per Share of the Down Shares at the time of determination of a distribution after adjusting
for any Net Income Distribution.

If the closing Class
Value per Share of the Fund’s Up Shares is less than the closing Class Value per Share of the Fund’s Down Shares, there
will be no Regular or Special Distribution for the Fund’s Up Shares. Similarly, if the closing Class Value per Share of the
Fund’s Down Shares is less than the closing Class Value per Share of the Fund’s Up Shares, there will be no Regular
or Special Distribution for the Fund’s Down Shares. Net Income Distributions may still occur for the benefit of any class
if the class’ Net Investment Income is positive on a Distribution Date regardless of whether the class is entitled to a Regular
or Special Distribution.

Regular and Special
Distributions will ordinarily be made in the form of cash during the first six months of trading in a Fund’s shares. Thereafter,
each Fund will pay all or any part of any Regular or Special Distribution in paired shares instead of cash where further cash distributions
would adversely affect the liquidity of the market for the Fund’s shares or impact the Fund’s ability to meet minimum
asset size Exchange listing standards. All payments made in paired shares shall be made in equal numbers of Up and Down Shares.
To the extent a share distribution would result in the distribution of fractional shares, cash in an amount equal to the value
of the fractional shares will be distributed rather than fractional shares.

70

The Sponsor expects
that each Fund will make Regular and Special Distributions in paired shares instead of cash under the following circumstances,
provided that the Fund has a sufficient number of shares under an effective registration statement to make the distribution in
shares:

·

after the Fund’s shares have been trading for at least six months, if a distribution
in cash would result in the Fund having aggregate Class Values of less than $25 million;

·

if the Fund cannot liquidate its eligible Treasuries or eligible repos on reasonably
acceptable terms in such time as will permit the Fund to pay a distribution in cash;

·

if a distribution of cash would impair the Fund’s ability to meet an Exchange
listing requirement; or

·

if the Sponsor becomes aware of any specific or general fund size limitation in
the formal and written policy of any institutional investor who may hold shares of the Fund, if a distribution of cash would cause
the Fund to not meet such minimum size limitations.

The expected
payment of Regular and Special Distributions in paired shares under the foregoing circumstances is not an indication of a Fund’s
ability to make Regular and Special Distributions in cash while at all times maintaining sufficient assets to redeem all of its
outstanding shares at their respective Class Values per Share. Each Fund will always have sufficient assets to redeem all of its
outstanding shares at Class Value per Share because Class Value per Share is based directly on the net assets of the Fund. Rather,
the expected payment of Regular and Special Distributions in paired shares under the foregoing circumstances is primarily intended
to limit the impact of paying distributions in cash on the liquidity of the market for the Fund’s shares by ensuring that
the Fund’s assets remain at a level that is attractive to many investors. There can be no assurance, however, that payment
of Regular and Special Distributions in paired shares will ensure a liquid market for any Fund’s shares. If the liquidity
of the market for a Fund’s shares is impaired, such Fund’s shares may trade at a premium or discount to their Class
Value per Share. If such premium or discount continues to exist for a sufficient length of time over a sufficient amount to trigger
a Corrective Distribution, the Corrective Distribution will cause each holder of shares of each class of the applicable Fund to
receive the return defined by the differential in Class Values per Share of such class calculated on the prior Distribution Date
and the Distribution Date of the Corrective Distribution, rather than by secondary market trading prices. In the event that the
Sponsor determines that any Fund will pay Regular and Special Distributions in paired shares, the Fund will file a current report
on Form 8-K with the SEC reporting such determination.

For any single Distribution
Date associated with a Regular or Special Distribution the relationship between Class Value per Share and distribution entitlement
for the Up Shares of a Fund and such Fund’s Underlying Index will be the Up Share Index Factor. Similarly, for any single
Distribution Date, the relationship between Class Value per Share and distribution entitlement for the Down Shares of a Fund and
such Fund’s Underlying Index will be the Down Share Index Factor. The Down Share Index Factor will equal negative one times
the Up Share Index Factor.

The Up Share Index
Factor and the Down Share Index Factor will be used for calculating the respective Class Values per Share of the shares. The differential
between the Class Values per Share of the Up Shares and the Down Shares at the time of determination of a Regular or Special Distribution,
after adjusting for any Net Income Distribution, will determine the amount of the distribution.

71

At a Fund’s
inception of operations and on each Regular or Special Distribution Date thereafter, the Share Index Factors will be reset with
respect to the then current Underlying Index level of the Fund and its then current Class Values per Share. The Share Index Factors
will not change between Distribution Dates.

The resetting Share
Index Factors are an important feature of the Funds in that (1) they identify precise and simple targeted returns for the shares
with respect to the Underlying Index, and (2) they are reset based on the level of the Underlying Index at the time of this resetting
upon the occurrence of Regular Distributions and Special Distributions such that very large changes in the Underlying Index over
the life of a Fund are incorporated into relative entitlements in the shares.

The distribution
entitlement (“DE”) for the shares on a Distribution Date, which includes Net Income Distribution, Regular Distribution
and Special Distribution entitlements of each class of a Fund, where “t” is the time of determination and where the
Class Values per Share at time “t” represent the closing Class Values per Share on the related date of determination,
is calculated as follows:

DEUPt (per Up Share entitled
to a distribution) = (UPc – (the lesser of UPc and DNc))+UPNIAt

DEDNt (per Down Share entitled to a distribution) = (DNc – (the lesser of UPc and DNc))+DNNIAt

The Sponsor will
allocate accrued income or gains or losses on a Fund’s Eligible Assets to each share class as such class’ “Net
Investment Income” on a daily basis, where such allocation is equal to the amount of such accrued income or gains or losses
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the closing Class Value per Share of the referenced class and the denominator
of which is the sum of the closing Class Values per Share of both classes of the Fund. Where the Net Investment Income for a class
of shares is positive, such class of shares will receive a Net Income Distribution equal to its Net Investment Income on each Distribution
Date.

On each Distribution
Date, the shares are entitled to a distribution of cash, shares or a combination thereof based on the positive difference, if any,
in Class Value per Share of the related share class and the Class Value per Share of the opposing share class where Class Value
per Share for each share class is adjusted for any Net Income Distribution attributable to such class. On a Distribution Date where
the distribution entitlement for the Up Shares (DEUP as presented above) is positive, the Up Shares will receive a distribution
of the indicated amount. On a Distribution Date where the distribution entitlement for the Down Shares (DEDN as presented above)
is positive, the Down Shares will receive a distribution of the indicated amount.

On each Distribution
Date the majority of distribution entitlements is expected to be implemented via a distribution of cash. If applicable, share distributions
will be comprised of an equal number of Up Shares and Down Shares. Because share distributions are limited to whole shares (i.e.
fractions of shares will not be distributed), investors receiving distributions of shares

72

may also receive a distribution of cash
for that amount of a share distribution entitlement which would otherwise be fractional shares.

After each distribution,
the Share Index Factors will be adjusted based on the Fund’s new Class Values per Share calculated with reference to the
then-prevailing level of the Underlying Index.

The table below
illustrates an initial Up Share Index Factor where the initial shares price is $25.00 and where the Underlying Index level at issuance
is set by the Sponsor at the Fund’s inception at 500.00. The Up Share Index Factor is $0.05000000 ($25/500, expressed in
the table as “$ per Index Point”). The Down Share Index Factor in the example is -$0.05000000.

For the initial
Measuring Period, every 25 point increase in the Fund’s Underlying Index (e.g., a movement from 500 to 525) will result
in a $1.25 increase in Class Value per Share of the Up Shares and a $1.25 decrease in the Class Value per Share of the Down Shares
without regard to Net Investment Income. Similarly, every 25 point decline in the Fund’s Underlying Index (e.g., a
movement from 500 to 475) will result in a $1.25 decrease in the Class Value per Share of the Up Shares and a $1.25 increase in
the Class Value per Share of the Down Shares.

The following table
illustrates the respective Class Value per Share movements for an initial Measuring Period where the Underlying Index movement
is up 50 points (up 10% to 550.00), unchanged, and down 50 points (down 10% to 450).

resulting Class Values per Share indicate a 10% increase for the Up Shares and a 10% decrease for the Down Shares based on the
Underlying Index movement. Based on the respective Measuring Period returns for the shares, as shown in the following table, the
Fund will distribute a cash amount of $5,000.00 per 1,000 Up Shares to the holders of record of the Up Shares, and the Class Value
per Share of the Up Shares and the Down Shares immediately following the Distribution Date will be set at $22.5000. The illustrated

Because in a declining
Underlying Index scenario the Class Value per Share for both classes following a Regular or Special Distribution is determined
with reference to the Up Shares’ Class Value per Share immediately preceding the Regular or Special Distribution, and because
the relative changes in Class Value per Share of the Up Shares and the Underlying Index are proportional to each other, the Share
Index Factors remain unchanged, taking into account only changes in the Underlying Index.

Regular Distributions

Regular distributions
of investor gains will be caused by each Fund principally through a Regular Distribution of cash, or cash and shares, on each Regular
Distribution Date. Concurrent with each Regular Distribution, the applicable Fund will reset its Share Index Factors. An investor
receiving distributions can then undertake a range of actions with respect to the distributions which include increasing exposure
to the Underlying Index, decreasing exposure to the Underlying Index, or maintaining exposure to the Underlying Index. See “—Investor
Responses to Distributions.”

Each Fund will engage

As presented in
the immediately preceding table, a holding of the 500 Up Shares as illustrated has received a distribution of $2,500.00 in cash.
The Class Value per Share of the Up Shares following the distribution is $22.50. The value of the investor’s position following
this single Distribution Date is as follows:

500 Up Shares
x $22.50 plus cash of $2,500.00 = $13,750.00.

An examination of
the immediately preceding table demonstrates that the value of the Up Shares holding (before adjustment for Net Investment Income)
immediately following a Distribution Date will be equal to the value of the Up Shares holding immediately preceding a Distribution
Date. The Funds will not charge an investor a fee related to a distribution of either cash or shares.

The Funds are
designed to be utilized by investors who are prepared to reassess their holding of distributed cash and shares at least as frequently
as each Distribution Date. Investors who hold distributed cash or shares over one or more consecutive Distribution Dates without

77

reassessment of
their Fund share portfolio may experience decreased exposure to the Fund’s Underlying Index as well as a reduced opportunity
of gain and loss.

Following a single
Distribution Date, a holding of cash or a holding of a matched quantity of Up Shares and Down Shares will generate no return with
respect to changes in the Underlying Index. In the above single Distribution Date illustration, the $2,500.00 in cash will generate
no exposure to the Underlying Index in any subsequent period. Similarly, a distribution of shares, if any, will be effected in
a matched quantity of Up Shares and Down Shares and will also generate no return with respect to the Underlying Index in any subsequent
period. See “—Investor Responses to Distributions.”

If the investor
in 500 original Up Shares holds the position over two Distribution Dates (inclusive of all intermediate distributions) without
any trading or other purchases or dispositions, where the return on the Up Shares is +10% (before adjustment for Net Investment
Income) for the second Distribution Date, and the distributions are made in cash, the investor’s resultant positions and
returns are as follows:

As presented in
the immediately preceding table, a holding of the 500 Up Shares and $2,500.00 in cash (where the return on cash is assumed to be
zero) has received a distribution of $2,250.00 in cash. The Class Value per Share of the Up Shares following the distribution is
$20.25. The value of the investor’s position following this single second Distribution Date is as follows:

500 Up Shares
x $20.25 plus cash of $4,750.00 = $14,875.00.

Because the $2,500.00
in cash from the first Distribution Date did not generate a return with respect to the Underlying Index, the return as indicated
in the immediately preceding table has only accrued on 90% of the Up Shares’ +10% return as measured against the original
investment (9% versus 10%, or $1,125 versus $1,250, where $14,875 minus $13,750 equals $1,125).

Continuing the example
of 500 Up Shares acquired at $25 and held through a third Distribution Date (inclusive of all intermediate distributions) without
any trading or other purchases or dispositions, where the return on the Up Shares is +10% (before adjustment for Net Investment
Income) for the third Distribution Date, and the distributions are made in cash, the investor’s resultant positions and returns
are as follows:

As presented in
the immediately preceding table, a holding of the 500 Up Shares and $4,750.00 in cash (where the return on cash is assumed to be
zero) has received a third period distribution of $2,025 in cash. The Class Value per Share of the Up Shares following the distribution
is $18.225. The value of the investor’s position following this single third Distribution Date is as follows:

500 Up Shares
x $18.225 plus cash of $6,775.00 = $15,887.50.

Because the $4,750.00
in cash from the second Distribution Date did not generate a return with respect to the Underlying Index, the return as indicated
in the immediately preceding table has only accrued on 81% of the Up Shares’ +10% return as measured against the original
investment (8.1% versus 10%, or $1,012.50 versus $1,250, where $15,887.50 minus $14,875.00 equals $1,012.50).

An investor who,
having held the original 500 Up Shares inclusive of distributions as indicated in the three period illustration, continues to hold
the original 500 Up Shares and all distributions without taking any action to purchase shares with the cash distributed or to sell,
trade, or otherwise dispose of any distributed shares will experience decreasing exposure to the Underlying Index.

The following table
illustrates the approximate effect of holding an original position in the Up Shares over five consecutive Distribution Dates where
the return on the Up Shares per period is +10%, +5%, 0%, -5%, or -10%. The percentage indicated in the table is that percentage
return realized on an original Up Shares holding, plus all intermediate distributions as measured on the original invested dollar
amount where the investor executed no sales, purchases or other transactions following the initial acquisition and after each Distribution
Date.

Similarly, a holding
of Down Shares over one or more Distribution Dates, where the Down Shares have received a distribution of cash, shares or a combination
thereof, will have a decreased exposure to the Underlying Index following each such Distribution Date. Specifically distributions
related to favorable movements in the Underlying Index will reduce the exposure of a Down Shares holding when an investor takes
no action to alter his position.

The following
table illustrates an investor who has purchased 500 Down Shares for $25 per share for a dollar value investment equal to $12,500.00.
Assuming that the return on the Down Shares is as indicated in the individual rows (since the investor’s acquisition) the
percentage returns and dollar returns are as indicated. The illustration aggregates all elements of return, including Net Investment
Income:

The 500 Down Shares
(purchased at $25 per share) held through a single Distribution Date where the return on the Down Shares is +10% (before adjustment

As presented in
the immediately preceding table, a holding of the 500 Down Shares as illustrated has received a distribution of $2,500.00 in cash.
The Class Value per Share of the Down Shares following the distribution is $22.50. The value of the investor’s position following
this single Distribution Date is as follows:

500 Down Shares
x $22.50 plus cash of $2,500.00 = $13,750.00.

An examination of
the immediately preceding table demonstrates that the value of the Down Shares holding (before adjustment for Net Investment Income)
immediately following a Distribution Date will be equal to the value of the Down Shares holding immediately preceding a Distribution
Date. The Funds will not charge an investor a fee related to a distribution of either cash or shares.

The Funds are
designed to be utilized by investors who are prepared to reassess their holding of distributed cash and shares at least as frequently
as each Distribution Date. Investors who hold distributed cash or shares over one or more consecutive Distribution Dates without
reassessment of their Fund share portfolio may experience decreased exposure to the Fund’s Underlying Index as well as a
reduced opportunity of gain and loss.

Following a single
Distribution Date, a holding of cash or a holding of a matched quantity of Up Shares and Down Shares will generate no return with
respect to changes in the Underlying Index. In the above single Distribution Date illustration, the $2,500.00 in cash will generate
no exposure to the Underlying Index in any subsequent period. Similarly, a distribution of shares, if any, will be effected in
a matched quantity of Up Shares and Down Shares and will also generate no return with respect to the Underlying Index in any subsequent
period. See “—Investor Responses to Distributions.”

If the investor
in 500 original Down Shares holds the position over two Distribution Dates (inclusive of all intermediate distributions) without
any trading or purchases or other dispositions, where the return on the Down Shares is +10% (before adjustment for Net Investment
Income) for the second Distribution Date, and the distributions are made in cash, the investor’s resultant positions and
returns are as follows:

As presented in
the immediately preceding table, a holding of the 500 Down Shares and $2,500.00 in cash (where the return on cash is assumed to
be zero) has received a distribution of $2,250.00 in cash. The Class Value per Share of the Down Shares following the distribution
is $20.25. The value of the investor’s position following this single second Distribution Date is as follows:

500 Down Shares
x $20.25 plus cash of $4,750.00 = $14,875.00.

Because the $2,500.00
in cash from the first Distribution Date did not generate a return with respect to the Underlying Index, the return as indicated
in the immediately preceding table has only accrued on 90% of the Down Shares’ +10% return as measured against the original
investment (9% versus 10%, or $1,125 versus $1,250, where $14,875 minus $13,750 equals $1,125).

Continuing the example
of 500 Down Shares acquired at $25 and held through a third Distribution Date (inclusive of all intermediate distributions) without
any trading or other purchases or dispositions, where the return on the Down Shares is +10% (before adjustment for Net Investment
Income) for the third Distribution Date, and the distributions are made in cash, the investor’s resultant positions and returns
are as follows:

As presented in
the immediately preceding table, a holding of the 500 Down Shares and $4,750.00 in cash (where the return on cash is assumed to
be zero) has received a third period distribution of $2,025.00 in cash. The Class Value per Share of the Down Shares following
the distribution is $18.225. The value of the investor’s position following this single third Distribution Date is as follows:

500 Down Shares
x $18.225 plus cash of $6,775.00 = $15,887.50.

Because the $4,750.00
in cash from the second Distribution Date did not generate a return with respect to the Underlying Index, the return as indicated
in the immediately preceding

82

table has only accrued
on 81% of the Down Shares’ +10% return as measured against the original investment (8.1% versus 10%, or $1,012.50 versus
$1,250.00, where $15,887.50 minus $14,875.00 equals $1,012.50).

An investor who,
having held the original 500 Down Shares inclusive of distributions as indicated in the three period illustration, continues to
hold the original 500 Down Shares and all distributions without taking any action to purchase shares with the cash distributed
or to sell, trade, or otherwise dispose of any distributed shares will experience decreasing exposure to the Underlying Index.

The following table
illustrates the approximate effect of holding an original position in the Down Shares over five consecutive Distribution Dates
where the return on the Down Shares per period is +10%, +5%, 0%, -5%, or -10% in consecutive periods. The percentage indicated
in the table is that percentage return realized on an original Down Shares holding, plus all intermediate distributions as measured
on the original invested dollar amount where the investor executes no sales, purchases or other transactions following the initial
acquisition and after each Distribution Date.

A reduced exposure
following one or more Distribution Dates will reduce the potential gains from favorable Underlying Index movements in subsequent
periods. For further discussion of an investor’s potential responses to receiving distributions, see “—Investor
Responses to Distributions.”

Special Distributions

Special Distributions
are a measure designed to protect the Funds and the investors in each Fund during periods when the Fund’s Underlying Index
experiences unexpected degrees of volatility. The Funds will effect a Special Distribution and a resetting of the Share Index Factors,
as well as a Net Income Distribution if any class of a Fund has positive Net Investment Income, between Regular Distribution Dates
where the Underlying Index exceeds a fixed rate of change since the prior Distribution Date as follows:

A reverse share
split may also be executed in conjunction with any Special Distributions. Reverse share splits will be declared in order to maintain
the Class Value per Share for each class of shares despite a significant move in the Underlying Index. In the event of a reverse
share split, the Share Index Factors and the per share calculations for Net Investment Income will be adjusted to reflect the split
to maintain continuity in tracking the Fund’s Underlying Index. See “—Notification of Distributions and Share
Splits.”

The Arbitrage Mechanism and Corrective Distributions

Arbitrage Mechanism.
Similar to other exchange traded products, the Funds will rely primarily between Distribution Dates on the share creation and
redemption process to reduce any premium or discount that may occur in a Fund’s share trading prices on the Exchange relative
to that share’s Class Value per Share. Shares in each Fund may be created or redeemed only by Authorized Participants. The
creation/redemption process is important for each Fund in providing Authorized Participants with an arbitrage mechanism through
which they may keep share trading prices in line with the Fund’s Class Values per Share.

As a Fund’s
shares trade intraday on the Exchange, their market prices will fluctuate due to simple supply and demand. The following scenarios
describe the conditions surrounding a creation/redemption:

·

If the market price of a share of a Fund exceeds its Class Value per Share, an Authorized
Participant can purchase shares through a cash payment as part of a Creation Unit from the Fund, and then sell the new shares
on the market at a profit, taking into account the value of both classes of shares. This process of increasing the supply of shares
is expected to bring the trading price of a share back to its Class Value per Share.

·

If the Class Value per Share exceeds the market price of a share of a Fund, an Authorized
Participant can purchase shares on the market in an amount equal to a Creation Unit and redeem them for cash at their Class Values
per Share at a profit, taking into account the value of both classes of shares. This process of increasing the demand for shares
on the Exchange through decreasing supply is expected to raise the trading price of a share to meet its Class Value per Share.

These processes
are referred to as the arbitrage mechanism. The arbitrage mechanism helps to minimize the difference between the trading price
of a share of a Fund and its Class Value per Share. Over time, these buying and selling pressures should balance out, and a share’s

84

market trading price is expected to
remain at a level close to its Class Value per Share. The arbitrage mechanism provided by the creation and redemption process is
designed, and required, in order to maintain the relationship between the market trading price of shares and their Class Values
per Share between Distribution Dates. The Class Value per Share Limitation is not expected to have an impact on the arbitrage mechanism
because it serves to limit the responsiveness of the Funds to extreme Underlying Index movements and will apply regardless of any
premium or discount condition in a Fund’s shares’ trading prices.

Unlike other exchange
traded products, the Funds have the additional protective mechanism – the Corrective Distribution – that is intended
to work if the arbitrage process fails to work for any reason.

Corrective
Distributions. The Funds have been established with a formulaic process that continuously measures for any material
deviation between the Class Value per Share of the shares and the closing trading prices of the shares as reported on the Exchange
where the measured closing trading prices are based on one or more trades occurring within the last 30 minutes of trading. If the
closing trading price for a share on any business day is not based on one or more trades occurring on the Exchange during the last
30 minutes of that day, the trading price for that day will not be used for the purposes of measuring for a Corrective Distribution.
Following the later to occur of (1) the expiration of 90 calendar days following the inception of a Fund’s operations and
(2) the commencement of the Fund’s third Measuring Period, if the closing trading prices of the shares of the Fund deviate
significantly from their Class Value per Share by a pre-defined amount (e.g., five percent) over three consecutive business
days, the Fund will make a Corrective Distribution in addition to a Regular Distribution or Special Distribution on the next scheduled
Regular Distribution Date or Special Distribution Date if previously triggered. In a Corrective Distribution, each share (including
those to be distributed on the related Regular Distribution Date) will be resolved into a risk neutral position comprised of an
equal number of Up Shares and Down Shares. The Corrective Distribution will distribute (1) a number of Down Shares equal to the
number of outstanding Up Shares to the Up Shares holders and (2) a number of Up Shares equal to the number of outstanding Down
Shares to the Down Shares holders. The Corrective Distribution will also involve a Regular or Special Distribution, as applicable,
to the applicable class of shares if the Fund’s Class Values per Share differ on the Distribution Date. A Corrective Distribution
will be utilized to reduce the likelihood of material and persistent disparities between Class Value per Share and trading prices
as well as to limit the duration of any such disparities. In the event that the closing trading price as reported on the Exchange
is based on one or more trades that occurred before the last 30 minutes of trading on the Exchange on any day, or an Index Disruption
Period is in effect on any day, a Corrective Distribution will not be measured by, or triggered on, that day.

Once the requirements
for a Corrective Distribution are triggered, the Corrective Distribution will occur on the next available Regular or Special Distribution
Date. Each Corrective Distribution will cause each holder of either an Up Share or a Down Share to have an equal number of both
Up and Down Shares where the resulting total Class Values per Share of the combined class holdings after the Corrective Distribution
will reflect values indicated by the total Class Value per Share of the shares held before the Corrective Distribution. A Corrective
Distribution may be accompanied by a reverse share split in order to reduce Fund share counts.

85

Any Corrective Distribution
will cause each holder of shares of either class to receive the return defined by the differential in Class Values per Share of
such class calculated on the prior Distribution Date and the Distribution Date of the Corrective Distribution. In this way, each
investor will receive a distribution on the related Distribution Date based on Class Value per Share rather than secondary market
trading prices for shares that may deviate materially and persistently from their Class Value per Share. A Corrective Distribution
causes a Fund to deliver more accurate returns to investors related to the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index at
the expense of an investor’s ability to maintain relative Up Share and Down Share positions. Investors who wish to reestablish
a specific Up Share or Down Share position should be prepared to buy, sell, or otherwise transact in the shares following a Corrective
Distribution. See “—Investor Responses to Distributions.”

The Sponsor expects
that Corrective Distributions will be infrequent, and for most Funds, a Corrective Distribution may never occur. The Sponsor believes
that the existence of the Corrective Distribution process in the Funds will discourage attempts by traders to manipulate share
trading or closing prices and should therefore reduce the occurrences of material and persistent deviations of share trading prices
from Class Value per Share. The Corrective Distribution process essentially supplements the arbitrage mechanism for those rare
situations where the arbitrage mechanism fails.

Immediately following
a Corrective Distribution, each shareholder has a balanced position with a value (based on Class Values per Share) that reflects
the return profile that the shareholder was entitled to receive for the related Measuring Period. As such, each shareholder has
a position which, when aggregated in sufficient amounts by an Authorized Participant, can be presented for redemption without any
further exposure to the Underlying Index and without further exposure to the market prices of the shares.

Where Authorized
Participants (and other shareholders trading directly or indirectly through Authorized Participants) are unable to trade shares
received in a Corrective Distribution at attractive prices, they can redeem some or all of the shares received in a Corrective
Distribution for cash. The pairs aspect of the Corrective Distribution will act as a release valve for outstanding shares, where
the market prices that can be realized in either the buying or selling of shares deviates materially from Class Values per Share
for the incremental buyer or seller. Where the combination of sale price and purchase price is undesirable for holders following
a Corrective Distribution, the Sponsor expects such shares to be aggregated and redeemed through Authorized Participants rather
than traded in a rebalancing. Such redemptions are an expected part of the corrective and price normalizing process. Consequently,
rebalancing transactions by investors following a Correction Distribution are not expected to perpetuate the imbalance between
trading prices and Class Value per Share that gave rise to the Corrective Distribution in the first place.

The Corrective Distribution
trigger thresholds are established for the protection of all existing shareholders’ returns and to protect the ability of
Authorized Participants to effect arbitrage driven creations and redemptions in each Fund’s Creation Units. The presence
of the Corrective Distribution trigger also benefits incremental purchasers by driving the alignment of market prices with Class
Value per Share and by reducing the risk that market prices deviate materially and persistently from Class Value per Share.

86

Corrective Distributions
will occur for the Funds after the following thresholds have been exceeded:

(1) Only closing prices based on trades which have occurred within 30 minutes of a market close will be used for the purposes of measuring for a Corrective Distribution.

In the event of
a Corrective Distribution, a shareholder may receive shares and cash in amounts to both: (1) provide the holder with a distribution
consistent with the change in the Underlying Index, and (2) provide the holder with a position neutral to subsequent changes in
the Underlying Index such that the effect of any persistent price deviation is diminished or eliminated. A Corrective Distribution
will be applied to all shares of a Fund. For further discussion of an investor’s potential responses to receiving distributions,
see “—Investor Responses to Distributions.”

Market Conditions
for Arbitrage and Corrective Distributions. There are eight unique combinations of market price/Class Value per Share differentials.
The eight combinations are listed in the following table.

·

There are two outcomes where one share class’ market price is below Class Value
per Share – rows 1 & 2;

·

There are two outcomes where one share class’ market price is above Class Value
per Share – rows 3 & 4;

·

There is one outcome where both share classes’ market prices are above Class
Value per Share – row 5;

·

There is one outcome where both share classes’ market prices are below Class
Value per Share – row 6; and

·

There are two outcomes where one share class’ market price is above Class Value
per Share at the same time one share class’s market price is below Class Value per Share – rows 7 and 8.

87

Under the columns
headed “Down Share” and “Up Share,” the table illustrates the market price (“MP”) and the Class
Values per Share (“VPS”) for each scenario. Under the heading “Arbitrage,” the expected arbitrage activity
(“Create” or “Redeem”) is indicated in addition to the per share pair arbitrage opportunity (e.g.,
$0.05 for Row 1). The specific numbers presented in the table are for illustration only and are not intended to indicate proposed
Corrective Distribution thresholds. Instead, the narrative following the table is intended to illustrate the Corrective Distribution
threshold setting process performed by the Sponsor at the inception of a Fund.

Rows 1 & 2 (Redeem):
Where one share is trading at a discount to Class Value per Share, an Authorized Participant can acquire a share pair on the market
for $1.95 in either scenario ($0.85 +$ 1.10 or $0.90 + $1.05) and redeem the share pair for $2.00 as part of a Creation Unit for
a $0.05 profit opportunity. This activity is expected to increase the demand for both shares.

Rows 3 & 4 (Create):
Where one share is trading at a premium to Class Value per Share, an Authorized Participant can create a share pair for $2.00 as
part of a Creation Unit and sell the pair on the market for $2.05 in either scenario ($0.95 +$ 1.10 or $0.90 + $1.15) for a $0.05
profit opportunity. This activity is expected to increase the supply of both shares.

Row 5 (Create):
Where both Up and Down Shares are trading at a premium to Class Value per Share, an Authorized Participant can create paired shares
for $2.00 as part of a Creation Unit and sell the pair on the market for $2.10 in proceeds ($0.95 +$ 1.15) for a $0.10 profit opportunity.
This activity is expected to increase the supply of both shares.

Row 6 (Redeem):
Where both Up and Down Shares are trading at a discount to Class Value Per Share, an Authorized Participant can acquire paired
shares on the market for $1.90 ($0.85 + $1.05) and redeem the pair for $2.00 as part of a Creation Unit for a $0.10 profit opportunity.
This activity is expected to increase the demand for both shares.

88

Corrective Distributions:

Rows 7 & 8 (Corrective
Distribution): Where one share within the pair is trading at a discount to Class Value per Share and the other share within the
pair is trading at a premium to Class Value per Share, a basic arbitrage opportunity via the creation and redemption mechanism
of a Fund may not be available because the sum of the pair’s market prices presents no divergence from the sum of the Class
Values per Share even though both shares may carry a material deviation from their Class Values per Share. The scenarios indicated
in Rows 7 & 8 may require a Corrective Distribution if the divergence persistently exceeds the trigger because the create and
redeem arbitrage mechanisms available through trading the shares are insufficient to correct this divergence.

A Corrective Distribution
would be triggered if any of the divergences listed in the above table were in excess of the specified limit and such divergence
persisted over the prescribed period of time. The theory and practice of arbitrage in the exchange traded product industry suggests
that divergences depicted in Rows 1 through 6 should not be large enough or persist long enough to trigger a Corrective Distribution.
Nevertheless, if those divergences did persist above the set level in excess of the prescribed time, a Corrective Distribution
would be triggered.

Examples of Effects
of Corrective Distributions.

Up Share Example.
The following tables illustrate a Corrective Distribution numerical example for 500 Up Shares with an initial price of $25.00 where
a Corrective Distribution was triggered prior to the first Distribution Date, the return to the Up Shares was +10% and the Regular
Distribution was made in cash.

As shown by the two foregoing tables,
the Corrective Distribution has not altered the aggregate Class Values and cash of the total position. This results from the following
calculation:

The following table
indicates the same scenario as above, but in the following table a 2-for-1 reverse share split is executed by the Fund
concurrent with the Corrective Distribution. The Fund may elect to execute a reverse share split in connection with Corrective
Distribution in order to maintain a higher Class Value per Share.

As shown by the two foregoing tables, the Corrective
Distribution has not altered the cash value of the total share position. The same result would occur for the investor’s total
share position if a 2-for-1 reverse share split occurred in conjunction with the Corrective Distribution.

Net Income Distributions

Whenever a Fund engages
in a Regular or Special Distribution, such Fund will determine whether any of its classes has a positive Net Investment Income.
Shareholders of any class that has a positive Net Investment Income will receive a Net Income Distribution. Net Income Distributions
may occur for any class regardless of whether such class receives a Regular or Special Distribution on that date.

Notification of Distributions and Share Splits

Each Fund engaging
in a Regular Distribution, a Special Distribution, a Corrective Distribution or a Net Income Distribution will provide at least
three business days’ advance notice (or longer advance notice as may be required by the Exchange) of such an event. Each
Fund engaging in a share split will provide at least ten calendar days’ advance notice (or longer advance notice as may be
required by the Exchange) of such an event. In each instance, the Sponsor will notify the Exchange, and post a notice of such event
and its details on the Sponsor’s website (www.AccuShares.com).

With respect to
Regular Distributions, the information provided will consist of the schedule of distributions and associated Distribution Dates,
and a notification, as of the record date for such Regular Distribution, on the Sponsor’s website (www.AccuShares.com) as
to whether or not the Regular Distribution will occur. For Regular Distributions that occur on schedule, the Sponsor will cause
a press release to be issued identifying the receiving class, the amount of cash, the amount of paired shares (if any), and any
other information the Sponsor deems relevant regarding the distribution and post such information on the Sponsor’s website.
This information will also be contained in the Fund’s quarterly and annual reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K and annual
reports to shareholders.

With respect to
Special Distributions, Corrective Distributions and share splits, the information provided will include the relevant ex-, record
and payment dates for each such event and relevant data concerning each such event. These events will also be reported in press
releases, on the Sponsor’s website (www.AccuShares.com) and under current reports on Form 8-K as material events as well
as the Fund’s periodic reports.

91

In addition, notice
of Net Income Distributions for each class of a Fund, if any, will also be included in the notifications of Regular, Special and
Corrective Distributions.

Reverse share
splits will be declared to maintain a positive Class Value per Share for either the Up Shares or the Down Shares should the Class
Value per Share of either class approach zero. Reverse share splits are expected to occur in the context of Special Distributions
and are expected to be triggered after Class Value per Share declines below $4.00. No other share splits are expected to occur,
although the Sponsor will have the right to declare in its sole discretion a share split, either forward or reverse, pursuant to
the Trust Agreement. Any share split declared at the Sponsor’s discretion will be subject to at least ten calendar days’
notice to investors.

Investor Responses to Distributions

The Funds are designed
to be utilized only by sophisticated investors who are expected to monitor and manage their position in the shares not less frequently
than each Distribution Date.

can reduce or eliminate your desired exposure to an Underlying Index and cash distributions will reduce the size of a Fund. A
Fund’s Regular and Special Distributions of cash, or cash and shares, will reduce your opportunity for gains arising from
changes in the Fund’s Underlying Index in subsequent periods. Any Corrective Distribution will eliminate your opportunity
for such gains in subsequent periods. The Sponsor intends to cause each Fund to make Regular and Special Distributions in cash,
although the Sponsor will make all or any part of any such distribution in paired shares instead of cash where further cash distributions
would adversely affect the liquidity of the market for the Fund’s shares or impact the Fund’s ability to meet minimum
asset size Exchange listing standards.

The payment of cash
distributions over time is expected to cause a decline in the applicable Fund’s Class Values. If a Fund’s Class Values
decline to a significant extent, the market for the Fund’s shares may become less liquid. Moreover, a significant decline
in a Fund’s Class Values may cause the Sponsor to terminate the Fund if its continued operation would be uneconomical. In
any event, each Fund will always have sufficient assets to redeem all of its outstanding shares at the prevailing Class Values
per Share.

When a Fund makes
a distribution in paired shares, it will not issue fractional shares but will instead distribute cash in lieu of fractional shares.
Regular and Special Distributions of shares will be made in equal quantities of Up Shares and Down Shares (or the cash value of
such shares) only to the share class of the Fund whose Class Value per Share has increased since the beginning of the Measuring
Period. If a distribution is in cash, any amounts held in cash will have no responsiveness to the Underlying Index. Any portion
of your Fund holdings in your portfolio that is represented by equal amounts of Up Shares and Down Shares will also have no responsiveness
to any changes in the level of the Fund’s Underlying Index since change in the relative Class Values per Share of each Up
Share and each Down Share will exactly offset each other with respect to changes in the Underlying Index.

If you seek to
maintain a maximum exposure to an Underlying Index, you may need to rebalance your Fund investments after every Distribution. Investors
wishing to maximize

92

exposure to the Underlying Index (in
either direction) or investors wishing to compound gains over one or more Distribution Dates must invest any cash distributed in
the class of shares aligned with their investment objectives. To the extent that a distribution is made in paired shares, investors
will need to sell all shares of the class of shares they receive in such distribution that opposes their intended exposure to the
Underlying Index and use the sale proceeds (combined with any cash distributions) to invest in the class of shares aligned with
their investment objectives.

Trading prices
and trading transaction costs will adversely impact your ability to closely track an Underlying Index through an investment in
the shares of the Funds. There is no assurance that an investor will be able to execute purchases and sales at any consistent
or desired trading price. For example, if you initially hold Up Shares in a Fund and the Class Value per Share of the Up Shares
exceeds the Class Value per Share of the Down Shares on the date for the next Regular Distribution, you will receive a Regular
Distribution of cash, or cash and an equal number of Up and Down Shares, whose value (in the aggregate, including all cash and
any shares distributed) will represent the increase in value of your original Up Shares as of the Distribution Date caused by the
increase over the Measuring Period in the Underlying Index. If you wish to maintain a total positive exposure to the Underlying
Index at the increased value of your original Up Shares after the Distribution Date, you will need to use any cash distributed
to you to purchase additional Up Shares. To the extent you received a distribution of paired shares, you will need to sell any
Down Shares that were distributed to you and use the sale proceeds plus distributed cash to purchase additional Up Shares. Both
your sale of the Down Shares, if any, and the purchase of additional Up Shares will occur at trading prices and not the Class Values
per Share for such shares. Moreover, your transaction in the Fund’s shares may be subject to your broker’s commissions
or other charges. The trading prices you receive and your transaction expenses may impede your ability to closely track the performance
of an Underlying Index through an investment in the shares of the Funds.

Investors in any
pooled investment vehicle which distributes cash should consider the impact of cash distributions on long-run returns. Similarly,
any vehicles having high portfolio turnover of non-cash assets may face larger costs (which adversely impact investor returns)
than a vehicle having a lower portfolio turnover rate. The Sponsor does not expect any Fund to have significant portfolio turnover
costs due to the nature of each Fund’s Eligible Assets.

Effects of investor
rebalancing and transaction costs. In contrast to an investor who does no trading or disposition of distributed shares and
does not use distributed cash to purchase additional shares, an investor of 500 Up Shares, for instance, who wishes to maintain
a maximized positive exposure in the Fund’s Underlying Index may sell the distributed Down Shares, if any, and use the proceeds
plus distributed cash to purchase Up Shares. The following three tables illustrate an investor who has purchased 500 Up Shares,
where the return on the Up Shares is +10%, and on each Distribution Date, rebalances its received cash distributions in order to
maintain a maximized position in Up Shares. The three table illustrations assume investor transaction costs and fees of 1.25% for
each purchase of shares for cash occurring during the rebalancing through a combination of market price changes, bid-offer
spreads, and brokerage transaction costs. Because investor transaction costs and fees are expected to vary, the assumption of investor
transaction costs and fees of 1.25% for each purchase of shares for cash is provided as an estimate only. The fourth table below
presents a range of investor roundtrip

93

transaction costs and fees between 0%
and 5% for completeness. The tables are presented prior to adjustment for Net Investment Income.

(reflecting a 1.25% increase over the $22.50 closing price).

The $2,500.00 distribution
is used to purchase 109 additional Up Shares at $22.7812 and a residual amount of $16.85 remains in cash.

A 1.25% aggregate
investor transaction costs and fees relating to buying additional Up Shares with distributed cash results in an approximately 0.22%

are used to purchase 163 additional Up Shares at $18.4528 (reflecting a 1.25% increase over the $18.225 closing price) and a residual
amount of $11.27 remains in cash.

Again, a 1.25% aggregate
investor transaction costs and fees relating to buying more Up Shares with distributed cash results in an approximately 0.25% impact
in performance (when Up Share returns are +10%) as indicated by the $16,523.12 versus $16,560.25 post-Distribution Date and
post-investor trading result. The pre-trading periodic return is +9.99% rather than +10% because the prior Distribution
Date residual cash amount is assumed to generate no return.

In the event that
shares were distributed rather than cash in the immediately preceding three-period example, an investor would need to sell
all shares of the class of shares it received in such distributions that opposes its intended exposure to the Underlying Index
and use the sale proceeds to invest in the class of shares aligned with its investment objectives. Because this activity requires
both a sale and a purchase of shares, the related investor transaction fees would likely be higher as a result of rebalancing following
a distribution of shares than following a distribution of cash (e.g., 1.25% for a sale of shares of the class that opposes
its intended exposure to the Underlying Index and 1.25% for a purchase of shares of the class aligned with its investment objectives);
however, because a distribution in shares would only require rebalancing with respect to half of the distribution, whereas a distribution
in cash would require rebalancing with respect to the entire distribution, 2.5% roundtrip investor transaction costs and fees in
the context of a distribution in shares will have similar results to those shown in the illustrations above with respect to 1.25%
roundtrip investor transaction costs and fees in the context of a distribution in cash.

The following table
summarizes the impact of investor transaction costs and fees relating to transacting in shares following distributions when percentage
roundtrip investor transaction costs and fees are 0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%, and 3.0%, and when the per Measuring Period return on
the Up Shares is -5.0%, 0.0%, +5.0%, and +10.0%.

Similar to the immediately
preceding four table illustrations relating to an investor in the Up Shares seeking to maintain a maximum position in the Up Shares,
an investor in the Down Shares may similarly seek to maintain a maximizing position in the Down Shares through one or more Distribution
Dates where distributions are made to holders of the Down Shares. The following table summarizes the impact of investor transaction
costs and fees relating to transacting in shares following distributions when percentage roundtrip investor transaction costs and
fees are 0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%, and 3.0%, and when the per Measuring Period return on the Down Shares is -5.0%, 0.0%, +5.0%,

Down Shares are
unlike other traditional fund investments. The Down Shares of each Fund pursue investment goals which are inverse to the performance
of its Underlying Index, a result opposite to the results of most mutual funds, exchange traded funds, and other exchange traded
products.

Moreover, the following
analysis examines how an investor acquiring Down Shares between Distribution Dates and seeking to align the returns on their invested
capital with the performance of a Fund’s Underlying Index will need to adjust their purchases.

An investor who
seeks to achieve a maximum exposure to the Underlying Index through a purchase of the Down Shares for a fixed dollar amountallocation should purchase the number of shares based on (x) the fixed dollar amount allocation divided by (y) the prevailing
per share market price of the Down Shares. In contrast, an investor who seeks an absolute dollar amount exposure to the Underlying
Index should refer to the Down Share Index Factor. For example, an

96

investor who desires approximately a
$1,000 return (without regard to Net Investment Income) if the Underlying Index changes 10 points, which is the investor’s
absolute dollar amount exposure to the Underlying Index, where the absolute value of the Down Share Index Factor is 0.05000000,
and where the prevailing market price is $25, would purchase a number of Down Shares equal to (x) the desired absolute return amount
(i.e., $1,000) divided by (y) the product of (I) the Underlying Index change target (i.e., 10) and (II) the absolute
value of the Down Share Index Factor (i.e., 0.05000000). In this example, the investor would purchase 2,000 Down Shares
to achieve the absolute return objective of approximately $1,000 per 10-point move in the Underlying Index.

Because the Underlying
Index and the price of the Down Shares will diverge in response to changes in the Underlying Index, percentage changes in the Underlying
Index will not directly equate to percentage changes in the price of the Down Shares except when: (1) Down Shares were purchased
or held on the prior Distribution Date, and (2) Down Shares were purchased at a price equal to the Class Value per Share of the
Up Shares (the “expected absolute Down Share exposure condition”).

The following table illustrates
the expected absolute Down Share exposure condition and assumes that (a) the Underlying Index level at a prior Distribution Date
is 500, (b) the absolute value of the Down Share Index Factor (indicated as “$ per Index Point”) is 0.05000000 and
(c) the Class Value per Share of the Down Share is $25.00 on such prior Distribution Date, which equals the Up Share’s Class
Value per Share and the price at which the investor acquires the Down Share. The table then shows the end result of the expected
absolute Down Share exposure condition as of the next Distribution Date where an upward move in the level of the Underlying Index
to 550 (+10%) results in a downward movement in the Class Value per Share of the Down Share to $22.5000 (-10%). Similarly,
a downward move in the Underlying Index to 450 (-10%) results in an upward movement in the Class Value per Share of the Down
Shares to $27.5000 (+10%). The illustrated distributions and Class Values per Share in the following table are presented before
adjustment for Net Investment Income.

The expected absolute
Down Share exposure condition will not be met when Down Shares are acquired on days that are not Distribution Dates. For example,
if an investor acquires a Down Share on a non-Distribution Date when (a) the level of the Underlying Index is 450, and (b)
the Down Share acquisition price is $27.50 (matching its Class Value per Share), then when the Underlying Index moves downward
an additional 10% to 405, the corresponding movement in the Class Value per Share of the Down Shares between Distribution Dates
is the product of (x) the incremental index movement of -45, and (y) the Down Share Index Factor of -0.05000000, for a
Down Share value increase of $2.25 (presented prior to adjustment for Net Investment

97

Income). This movement results in a
$29.75 Class Value per Share of the Down Share, which is a 8.18% (or 2.25 over 27.50) change in the Class Value per Share after
the 10% decline in the Underlying Index level. A similar misalignment between the percentage upward movement in the Underlying
Index level (e.g., +10%) and percentage downward movement in the Class Value per Share of the Down Shares will occur if
the Down Shares are acquired (at $22.50 per Down Share) on a non-Distribution Date at an Underlying Index level higher (i.e.,
550) than such level on the prior Distribution Date (i.e., 500). In these cases, the misalignment results because the Down
Share Index Factor (i.e., -0.05000000) has not been reset from the prior Distribution Date.

In brief, the purchase
of Down Shares between Distribution Dates at a price below the Class Value per Share of the corresponding Up Share will have the
effect of increasing the responsiveness of the investor’s return to changes in the Underlying Index. Similarly, the purchase
of Down Shares between Distribution Dates at a price above the Class Value per Share of the corresponding Up Share will have the
effect of decreasing the responsiveness of the investor’s return to changes in the Underlying Index.

Any investor wishing
to maintain alignment of a percentage return on invested capital with a percentage return on the Underlying Index when the Down
Shares Class Value per Share varies from the Up Shares Class Value per Share may execute a “Down Shares Adjusted Purchase”
to achieve the expected absolute Down Share exposure condition. In a Down Shares Adjusted Purchase, an investor will effect one
of the following adjustments to their purchase of the Down Shares (for simplicity, trading prices are assumed to be equal to Class
Values per Share and the adjustments do not include the effects caused by the investor’s transaction costs and fees and the
Fund’s Net Investment Income:

1.

When the Down Shares Class Value per Share is below the Up Shares Class Value per
Share:

Reduce
the size of a Down Shares purchase and hold an amount in cash equal to the total purchase difference between the Up Shares’
price and the Down Shares’ price. For example, if the Down Shares’ price is $24, and the Up Shares’ price is
$26, an investor will hold $2 in cash for each Down Share purchased.

2.

When the Down Shares Class Value per Share is above the Up Shares Class Value per
Share:

Purchase
additional Down Shares (on margin or with other borrowed cash) equal to the total purchase difference between the Down Shares’
price and the Up Shares’ price. For example, if the Down Shares’ price is $26, and the Up Shares’ price is $24,
an investor will purchase $2 of additional Down Shares for each Down Share otherwise purchased.

When compared before
adjustment for Net Investment Income and an investor’s transaction costs and fees, an investor can always achieve an expected
absolute Down Share exposure condition with a Down Shares Adjusted Purchase.

TRUST
AND FUND EXPENSES

Each Fund will be
subject to a daily accrual of fees and expenses. The following is a description of the fees and expenses of each Fund.

Management Fee

Each class pays
the Sponsor the Management Fee, monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to the percentage of its average daily Class Value at the
rates indicated in the following table, calculated on the basis of a 365-day year:

The Sponsor receives
the Management Fee and otherwise bears all the routine ordinary expenses of each Fund, including the fees and reimbursable expenses
of the Trustee, the Investment Advisor, the custodian, the administrator, the transfer agent, the Index Provider and the marketing
agent. The Funds bear all their tax liabilities, which are accrued daily, and their extraordinary, non-recurring expenses that
are not assumed by the Sponsor under the Trust Agreement. Expenses, fees and taxes shall be accrued in advance for all non-business
days at the end of the immediately preceding business day.

No other fee is
paid by the Funds. The Management Fee is paid in consideration of the Sponsor’s management and administrative services and
the other services provided to the Funds for which the Sponsor pays directly.

The shares are not
deposits or other obligations of the Sponsor, the Trustee or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or any other bank,
are not guaranteed by the Sponsor, the Trustee or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or any other bank and are
not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. An investment in the shares of the Funds
offered hereby is speculative and involves a high degree of risk.

Additional Expenses of the Funds and the Shareholders

Except for the
Management Fee and certain expenses, costs and taxes described below, no Fund will bear any further expenses. See “Description
of the Shares & Certain Terms of the Trust Agreement—The Sponsor.” As described below, the Sponsor will pay all
additional expenses of the Funds and the Trust. Each Fund’s expenses, fees and taxes shall be accrued in advance for all
non-business days at the end of the immediately preceding business day.

99

Organization and Offering Expenses

Organization and
offering expenses relating to a Fund means those expenses incurred in connection with the formation of such Fund, the qualification
and registration of the shares of such Fund and offering and processing the shares of such Fund under applicable federal law, and
any other expenses actually incurred and, directly or indirectly, related to the organization of such Fund or the offering of the
shares of such Fund, including, but not limited to:

·

initial and ongoing registration fees, filing fees and taxes;

·

costs of preparing, printing (including typesetting), amending, supplementing, mailing
and distributing the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, the exhibits thereto and this prospectus;

·

the costs of qualifying, printing (including typesetting), amending, supplementing,
mailing and distributing sales materials used in connection with the offering and issuance of the shares;

·

travel, telegraph, telephone and other expenses in connection with the offering and
issuance of the shares; and

Expenses incurred
in connection with organizing the Trust and each Fund and the registration and initial offering of its shares will be paid by the
Sponsor. Expenses incurred in connection with the continuous offering of shares of each Fund after the commencement of its trading
and operations will also be paid by the Sponsor.

Routine Operational, Administrative,
and Other Ordinary Expenses

The Sponsor will
pay all of the routine operational, administrative, and other ordinary expenses of each Fund, including, but not limited to, computer
services expenses, the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Investment Advisor, the custodian, the administrator, the transfer
agent, the Index Provider, the marketing agent and any other service providers of the Funds, legal and accounting fees and expenses,
filing fees, and printing, mailing and duplication costs.

Federal, State and Local Taxes

Since each Fund
is expected to be treated as a corporation for income tax purposes, federal, state and local taxes, if any, will be accrued daily
by each Fund and will reduce the aggregate Class Values of such Fund. The Sponsor generally will allocate a Fund’s taxes
to each share class of a Fund in proportion to the Class Value of such class.

Non-Recurring Fees and Expenses

All extraordinary,
non-recurring expenses (referred to as extraordinary fees and expenses in the Trust Agreement), if any, will be borne by the
affected Funds. Extraordinary fees and

100

expenses are fees and expenses which
are non-recurring and unusual in nature, such as legal claims and liabilities and litigation costs or indemnification or other
unanticipated expenses. Such fees and expenses include, without limitation, legal claims and liabilities, litigation costs or indemnification
or other unanticipated expenses. Such fees and expenses, by their nature, are unpredictable in terms of timing and amount.

In the event that
a Fund needs to pay such non-recurring fees and expenses, it will sell Eligible Assets in an amount sufficient to obtain the
cash proceeds for payment. The payment of extraordinary fees and expenses by a Fund will result in a corresponding decrease in
the Fund’s aggregate Class Values and its Class Values per Share. Any decrease in the Class Values per Share of a class of
a Fund due to the payment of extraordinary fees and expenses may cause a significant loss to shareholders of such class, result
in increased tracking error of Fund performance against its Underlying Index or, in extreme cases, result in termination of the
Fund.

Extraordinary fees
and expenses affecting the Trust as a whole will be prorated to each series of the Trust according to its respective aggregate
Class Values. The Sponsor generally will allocate a Fund’s extraordinary fees and expenses to each share class in proportion
to the Class Value of such class.

Other Transaction Costs

Each Fund bears
other transaction costs including those incurred in connection with the management of the Fund’s Eligible Assets and management
of the collateral backing a Fund’s eligible repos as well as the trading spreads and financing costs/fees, if any, and other
costs relating to the purchase of eligible Treasuries and eligible repos. The Sponsor generally will allocate a Fund’s transaction
costs to each share class in proportion to the Class Value of such class.

Each Fund also imposes
on each Authorized Participant transaction fees to offset, or partially offset, the transfer agent’s cost for processing
creation and redemption orders and the Sponsor’s Trust offering registration fee expense. Currently, the transaction fee
applicable to each creation and redemption transaction is $600 per order plus 0.005% of the aggregate order value. The transaction
fee may be reduced, increased or otherwise changed by the Sponsor at its sole discretion. See “Creation and Redemption of
Shares.”

Brokerage Commissions

Retail investors
may purchase and sell shares through traditional brokerage accounts. Investors may be charged a customary commission by their brokers
in connection with purchases or sales of shares that will vary from investor to investor and may reduce investor returns. Investors
are encouraged to review the terms of their brokerage accounts for applicable charges.

Also, the excess,
if any, of the price at which an Authorized Participant sells a share over the price paid by such Authorized Participant in connection
with the creation of such share in a Creation Unit may be deemed to be underwriting compensation.

101

WHO MAY
SUBSCRIBE

Only Authorized
Participants may create or redeem Creation Units. Each Authorized Participant must (1) be a registered broker-dealer or other
securities market participant such as a bank or other financial institution which is not required to register as a broker-dealer
to engage in securities transactions, (2) be a DTC Participant, and (3) have entered into an Authorized Participant Agreement.

CREATION
AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES

Shares in each Fund
may be created or redeemed only by Authorized Participants. Shares may be created and redeemed by Authorized Participants from
time to time, but only in one or more Creation Units of a Fund. A Creation Unit is a basket of 25,000 Up Shares and 25,000 Down
Shares of the Fund. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the shares are not redeemable securities. The Funds will not create
or redeem fractional Creation Units.

The amount payable
for the creation or redemption of a Creation Unit will equal the aggregate Class Values per Share of each Up Share and each Down
Share in the Creation Unit as of the end of the business day during which the order for such creation or redemption is submitted
prior to the applicable cut-off time. If the date on which such creation or redemption is submitted is not a business day,
the Class Values per Share will be determined as of the next business day.

Creation and redemption
orders will be settled on the third business day after the order is accepted. Settlement will be effected through: (1) the CNS
clearing process of NSCC, as such processes have been enhanced to effect creations and redemptions of Creation Units; or (2) the
facilities of DTC on a DVP basis, which is the procedure in which the buyer’s payment for securities is due at the time of
delivery. Security delivery and payment are simultaneous.

Redemption requests
will be met by distributing cash on hand or by selling the non-cash Eligible Assets for cash and then distributing such cash.
The value of all Eligible Assets of a Fund is expected to be always sufficient to redeem all shareholders at once at any time.

Authorized Participants
will pay a transaction fee of $600 per order plus 0.005% of the aggregate order value to the Fund custodian in connection with
each order for the creation or redemption of Creation Units. The transaction fee is intended to defray the transfer agent’s
cost for processing the creation and redemption orders and the Sponsor’s Trust offering registration fee expense. The transaction
fee may be reduced, increased or otherwise changed by the Sponsor at its sole discretion.

The form of Authorized
Participant Agreement sets forth the procedures for the creation and redemption of Creation Units and for the payment of cash required
for such creations and redemptions. The form of Authorized Participant Agreement and the related procedures attached thereto may
be amended by the Sponsor without the consent of any shareholder or Authorized Participant. Authorized Participants who purchase
Creation Units from the Funds receive no fees, commissions or other form of compensation or inducement of any kind from either
the Sponsor or the Funds, and no such person has any obligation or responsibility to the Sponsor or the Fund to effect any sale
or resale of shares. Authorized Participants may act for their own

102

accounts or as agents for broker-dealers,
custodians and other securities market participants that wish to create or redeem Creation Units. Authorized Participants are cautioned
that some of their activities may result in their being deemed participants in a distribution in a manner which would render them
statutory underwriters and subject them to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the Securities Act, as described
in “Plan of Distribution.”

Persons interested
in purchasing or redeeming Creation Units should contact the Sponsor or the transfer agent to obtain the contact information for
the Authorized Participants. Shareholders who are not Authorized Participants are only able to redeem their shares through an Authorized
Participant.

The following description
of the procedures for the creation and redemption of Creation Units is only a summary and an investor should refer to the relevant
provisions of the Trust Agreement and the form of Authorized Participant Agreement for more detail. The Trust Agreement and the
form of Authorized Participant Agreement are filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Creation Procedures

On any business
day, an Authorized Participant may place an order with the Fund’s transfer agent to create one or more Creation Units of
a Fund. Purchase orders for a Fund must be placed by the cut-off time for such Fund shown below, or earlier if the Exchange
closes before the cut-off time. If a purchase order is received prior to the applicable cut-off time, the day on which
the transfer agent receives a valid purchase order is the purchase order date. If the purchase order is received after the applicable
cut-off time, the purchase order date will be the next business day. Purchase orders are irrevocable. By placing a purchase
order, and prior to delivery of such Creation Units, an Authorized Participant’s DTC account will be charged the non-refundable
transaction fee due for the purchase order.

Determination of Required Payment and Cut-off Time

The total payment
required to create each Creation Unit is the sum of the Class Values per Share of 25,000 Up Shares and Class Values per Share of
25,000 Down Shares of the applicable Fund on the purchase order date plus the applicable transaction fee. For each Fund, Authorized
Participants have create/redeem cut-off times prior to the Class Value calculation time, which may be different from the close
of U.S. markets, as shown in the table below:

Delivery of Cash

Cash required for
settlement will typically be transferred to the Fund custodian through: (1) the CNS clearing process of NSCC, as such processes
have been enhanced to effect creations and redemptions of Creation Units; or (2) the facilities of DTC on a DVP basis, which is
the procedure in which the buyer’s payment for securities is due at the time of delivery. Security delivery and payment are
simultaneous. If the custodian does not receive the cash on the third business day following the purchase order date (T+3), such
order may be charged interest for delayed settlement or cancelled. The Sponsor reserves the right to extend the deadline for the
custodian to receive the cash required for settlement up to the fifth business day following the purchase order date (T+5). In
the event a purchase order is cancelled, the Authorized Participant will be responsible for reimbursing the Fund for all costs
associated with cancelling the order. Upon request by an Authorized Participant, the Sponsor in its sole discretion may agree to
an earlier delivery date other than T+3. Additional fees may apply for special settlement. The Creation Units will be delivered
to the Authorized Participant upon the custodian’s receipt of the purchase amount.

Suspension or Rejection of Purchase Orders

In respect of any
Fund, the Sponsor may, in its discretion, suspend the right to purchase, or postpone the purchase settlement date: (1) for any
period during which the Exchange is closed or when trading is suspended or restricted on the Exchange; (2) for any period during
which an emergency exists as a result of which the fulfillment of a purchase order is not reasonably practicable; or (3) for such
other period as the Sponsor determines to be necessary for the protection of the shareholders. The Sponsor will not be liable to
any person or in any way for any loss or damages that may result from any such suspension or postponement.

The Sponsor also may reject a purchase
order if:

·

it determines that the purchase order is not in proper form;

·

it believes that the purchase order would have adverse consequences to a Fund or its
shareholders;

·

fulfillment of the order would be unlawful; or

·

circumstances outside the control of the Sponsor make it, for all practical purposes,
not feasible to process creations of Creation Units.

None of the Sponsor,
the transfer agent, the administrator or the custodian will be liable for the postponement, suspension or rejection of any purchase
order.

Redemption Procedures

The procedures by
which an Authorized Participant can redeem one or more Creation Units generally mirror the procedures for the creation of Creation
Units. On any business day, an Authorized Participant may place an order with the Fund’s transfer agent to redeem one or
more Creation Units. If a redemption order is received prior to the applicable cut-off time, or

104

earlier if the Exchange closes before
the cut-off time, the day on which the transfer agent receives a valid redemption order is the redemption order date. If the
redemption order is received after the applicable cut-off time, the redemption order date will be the next business day. Redemption
orders are irrevocable. The redemption procedures allow Authorized Participants to redeem Creation Units. Individual shareholders
may not redeem directly from a Fund.

By placing a redemption
order, an Authorized Participant agrees to deliver the Creation Units to be redeemed through DTC’s book-entry system
to the applicable Fund not later than the third business day immediately following the redemption order date (T+3). The Sponsor
reserves the right to extend the deadline for the Fund to receive the Creation Units required for settlement up to the fifth business
day following the redemption order date (T+5). By placing a redemption order, and prior to receipt of the redemption proceeds,
an Authorized Participant must pay to the Fund’s custodian the non-refundable transaction fee due for the redemption
order or any proceeds due will be reduced by the amount of the fee payable. Upon request by an Authorized Participant, the Sponsor
in its sole discretion may agree to an earlier delivery date other than T+3. Additional fees may apply for special settlement.

Determination of Redemption Proceeds

The redemption proceeds
from a Fund consist of the cash redemption amount as described above. The cash redemption amount is equal to the sum of the Class
Values per Share of 25,000 Up Shares and the Class Values per Share of 25,000 of the Down Shares of such Fund requested in the
Authorized Participant’s redemption order as of the time of the calculation of such Fund’s Class Values on the redemption
order date, less transaction fee.

Delivery of Redemption Proceeds

The redemption proceeds
due from a Fund are delivered to the Authorized Participant on the third business day immediately following the redemption order
date if, by such business day, a Fund’s DTC account has been credited with the Creation Units to be redeemed. The Fund shares
and any required cash payment should be delivered through: (1) the CNS clearing process of NSCC, as such processes have been enhanced
to effect creations and redemptions of Creation Units; or (2) the facilities of DTC on a DVP basis. If a Fund’s DTC account
has not been credited with all of the Creation Units to be redeemed by such time, the redemption proceeds are delivered to the
extent whole Creation Units are received. Any remainder of the redemption proceeds is delivered on the fifth business day immediately
following the redemption order date to the extent any remaining whole Creation Units are received if: (1) the Sponsor receives
the fee applicable to the extension of the redemption settlement date which the Sponsor may, from time to time, determine, and
(2) the remaining Creation Units to be redeemed are credited to the Fund’s DTC account by such fifth business day. Any further
outstanding amount of the redemption order may be cancelled. The Authorized Participant will be responsible for reimbursing a Fund
for all costs associated with cancelling the order. The Sponsor is also authorized to deliver the redemption proceeds notwithstanding
that the Creation Units to be redeemed are not credited to a Fund’s DTC account by the third business day immediately following
the redemption order date if the Authorized Participant has collateralized its obligation

105

to deliver the Creation Units through
DTC’s book-entry system on such terms as the Sponsor may determine from time to time.

Suspension or Rejection of Redemption Orders

In respect of any
Fund, the Sponsor may, in its discretion, suspend the right of redemption, or postpone the redemption settlement date: (1) for
any period during which the Exchange is closed or when trading is suspended or restricted on the Exchange; (2) for any period during
which an emergency exists as a result of which fulfillment of a redemption order is not reasonably practicable; or (3) for such
other period as the Sponsor determines to be necessary for the protection of the shareholders. The Sponsor will not be liable to
any person or in any way for any loss or damages that may result from any such suspension or postponement.

The Sponsor also
may reject a redemption order if:

·

it determines that the redemption order is not in proper form;

·

the Sponsor believes that the redemption order would have adverse consequences to
a Fund or its shareholders;

·

fulfillment of the order would be unlawful; or

·

circumstances outside the control of the Sponsor make it, for all practical purposes,
not feasible to process redemptions of Creation Units.

Creation and Redemption Transaction Fee

An Authorized Participant
will be required to pay a transaction fee of $600 per order plus 0.005% of the aggregate order value to the Fund custodian to create
or redeem Creation Units. The transaction fee is intended to defray the transfer agent’s cost for processing the creation
and redemption orders and the Sponsor’s Trust offering registration fee expense. The transaction fee may be reduced, increased
or otherwise changed by the Sponsor at its sole discretion.

Special Settlement

The Sponsor may
allow for early settlement of purchase or redemption orders. Such arrangements may result in additional charges to the Authorized
Participant.

DESCRIPTION
OF THE SHARES & CERTAIN TERMS OF
THE TRUST AGREEMENT

The following summary describes in
brief the shares and certain aspects of the operation of the Trust, the Funds, and the respective responsibilities of the Trustee
and the Sponsor concerning the Trust and certain terms of the Trust Agreement. Prospective investors should carefully review the
Trust Agreement filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and consult with their own
advisers concerning the implications to such prospective subscribers of investing in a series of a Delaware statutory trust. Capitalized
terms used in this section and not otherwise defined shall have such meanings assigned to them under the Trust Agreement.

Description of the Shares

Each Fund issues,
or will issue, common units of beneficial interest, or shares, which represent units of fractional undivided beneficial interest
in and ownership of the Funds. Each Fund engages in paired share offerings meaning that it has an equal number of Up Shares and
Down Shares at all times. The shares represent entitlements to the assets of a Fund with such entitlements being determined by
the movements of the Underlying Index from the prior Distribution Date to the next Distribution Date. More specifically:

107

·

Up Shares entitlements to distributions from a Fund (before adjustment for Net Investment
Income) are tied to increases, if any, of the Underlying Index, subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation, and

·

Down Shares entitlements to distributions from a Fund (before adjustment for Net Investment
Income) are tied to decreases, if any, of the same Underlying Index, subject to the Class Value per Share Limitation.

Performance is determined
with respect to the change in such Underlying Index between Distribution Dates for a Fund.

The shares may be
purchased from the Funds or redeemed on a continuous basis, always as pairs, but only by Authorized Participants and only in Creation
Units. Shares may not be purchased or redeemed from the Funds by shareholders that are not Authorized Participants.

Principal Office

The Trust is
organized as a statutory trust under the DSTA. The Trust is managed by the Sponsor, whose office is located at 1 Bridge Plaza North,
Suite 468, Fort Lee, NJ 07024.

The Funds

The Trust is formed
and operated in a manner such that each Fund is liable only for obligations attributable to such Fund and shareholders of a Fund
are not subject to the losses or liabilities of any other series of the Trust. If any creditor or shareholder in a Fund asserted
against a Fund a valid claim with respect to its indebtedness or shares, the creditor or shareholder would only be able to recover
money from that particular Fund and its assets. Accordingly, the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted
for or otherwise existing solely with respect to a particular Fund are enforceable only against the assets of that Fund, and not
against any other series of the Trust or the Trust generally, or any of their respective assets. The assets of each Fund include
only those funds and other assets that are paid to, held by or distributed to the Fund on account of and for the benefit of that
Fund, including, without limitation, funds delivered to the custodian for the purchase of shares or Creation Units in a Fund. This
limitation on liability is referred to as the “Inter-Series Limitation on Liability.” The Inter-Series Limitation
on Liability is expressly provided for under the DSTA, which provides that if certain conditions (as set forth in Section 3804(a)
thereof) are met, then the debts of any particular series will be enforceable only against the assets of such series and not against
the assets of any other series of the Trust or the Trust generally.

The Trustee

Wilmington Trust,
N.A., a national banking association, is the sole Trustee of the Trust. The rights and duties of the Trustee and the Sponsor with
respect to the offering of the shares and Fund management and the shareholders are governed by the provisions of the DSTA and by
the Trust Agreement. The Trustee will accept service of legal process on the Trust in the State of Delaware and will make certain
filings under the DSTA. The Trustee does not owe any other duties under the Trust Agreement to the Trust, the Sponsor or the shareholders
of any Fund. Wilmington Trust, N.A. also serves as the Investment Advisor for each Fund pursuant to the

108

Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustee’s
principal offices are located at Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890. The Trustee is unaffiliated
with the Sponsor.

The Trustee is permitted
to resign upon at least sixty (60) days’ notice to the Trust, provided that any such resignation will not be effective until
a successor Trustee is appointed by the Sponsor. The Trustee is compensated by the Sponsor.

The Trustee will
not be liable or accountable under the Trust Agreement to the Trust or to any other person or entity or under any other agreement
to which the Trust is a party, except for the Trustee’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Each of the
Trustee and its directors, employees, and agents (the “Trustee Related Parties”) is indemnified by the Trust and the
Funds, as appropriate, against any claims, losses, liabilities or expenses which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
such Trustee Related Party relating to or arising out of or in connection with the formation, operation or termination of the Trust
or such Fund, as appropriate, or the execution, delivery and performance of its duties pursuant to the Trust Agreement or any other
agreements with respect to the Trust or such Fund to which the Trust is a party or the action or inaction of the Trustee thereunder
with respect to the Trust or such Fund, except for such claims, losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from the gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct of such Trustee Related Party. The Sponsor has the discretion to replace the Trustee.

Only the assets
of the Trust are subject to issuer liability under the federal securities laws for the information contained in this prospectus
and with respect to the issuance and sale of the shares. Under such laws, neither the Trustee, either in its capacity as Trustee
or in its individual capacity, nor any director, officer or controlling person of the Trustee is, or has any liability as, the
issuer or a director, officer or controlling person of the issuer of the shares. The Trustee’s liability in connection with
the issuance and sale of the shares is limited solely to the express obligations of the Trustee set forth in the Trust Agreement.

Under the Trust
Agreement, the Sponsor has exclusive management and control of all aspects of the Trust’s business. The Trustee has no duty
or obligation to supervise the performance of the Sponsor, nor will the Trustee have any liability for the acts or omissions of
the Sponsor. The shareholders have no voice in the day-to-day management of the business and operations of the Funds and
the Trust, other than certain limited voting rights as set forth in the Trust Agreement. In the course of its management of the
business and affairs of the Funds and the Trust, the Sponsor may, in its sole and absolute discretion, appoint an affiliate or
affiliates of the Sponsor as additional sponsors and retain such persons, including affiliates of the Sponsor, as it deems necessary
to effectuate and carry out the purposes, business and objectives of the Trust.

Description of Trust Activities

The Trust will be
strictly limited to holding only Eligible Assets in accordance with the Trust Agreement. Each Fund will be constrained by its operative
documents to engage in a narrow range of prescribed activities to:

·

maintain sufficient liquidity to pay fees of the Fund;

109

·

maintain sufficient liquidity to pay any Net Income Distributions or Regular or Special
Distributions of cash owed to shareholders;

·

maintain liquidity to fulfill Creation Unit redemption orders and cancel shares in
such Creation Units; and

·

earn an investment return consistent with the preservation of aggregate capital of
all shareholders.

The Sponsor

AccuShares Investment
Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, serves as Sponsor of the Trust. The Sponsor was formed on December 16, 2013
and is wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by AccuShares Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a member
of the Sponsor. Under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the governing documents of the Sponsor, AccuShares Holdings
LLC is not responsible for the debts, obligations, and liabilities of the Sponsor solely by reason of being a member of the Sponsor.
The Sponsor has no experience in operating entities like the Trust and the Funds. The principal office of the Sponsor is located
at 1 Bridge Plaza North, Suite 468, Fort Lee, NJ 07024.

Under the Trust
Agreement, the Sponsor has exclusive management and control of all aspects of the business of each Fund. Specifically, the Sponsor,
among other things:

·

Selects the Funds’ service providers;

·

Negotiates various fees and agreements; and

·

Performs such other services as the Sponsor believes that the Trust may require from
time to time.

The Sponsor, on
behalf of the Funds, is expected to retain the services of one or more additional service providers to assist with certain tax
reporting requirements of the Funds and their shareholders. The Sponsor also bears all the routine operational expenses of the
Trust and each Fund, except tax liabilities and any non-recurring extraordinary expenses.

As noted above,
the Sponsor has exclusive management and control of all aspects of the business of each Fund. The Trustee will have no duty to
supervise or monitor the performance of the Sponsor, nor will the Trustee have any liability for the acts or omissions of the Sponsor.

The shares (1) are
not deposits or other obligations of the Sponsor, the Trustee or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or any other
bank, (2) are not guaranteed by the Sponsor, the Trustee or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or any other bank,
and (3) are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. An investment in the shares
of any Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk.

110

Duties of the Sponsor; Limitation of Sponsor Liability;
Indemnification of Sponsor

The general fiduciary
duties which would otherwise be imposed on the Sponsor (which would make its operation of the Trust as described herein impracticable
due to the strict prohibition imposed by such duties on, for example, conflicts of interest on behalf of a fiduciary in its dealings
with its beneficiaries), are replaced by the terms of the Trust Agreement (to which terms all shareholders, by purchasing shares,
are deemed to consent). The elimination of fiduciary duties under the Trust Agreement is expressly permitted by Delaware law. As
a result, investors will only have recourse and be able to seek remedies against the Sponsor if it breaches its obligations under
the Trust Agreement, including the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Unless the Sponsor breaches its obligations
under the Trust Agreement, investors will not have any recourse against the Sponsor even if the Sponsor were to act in a manner
that was inconsistent with traditional fiduciary duties, which fiduciary duties do not apply to the Sponsor under the Trust Agreement.

Furthermore, the
Trust Agreement provides that the Sponsor Related Parties shall have no liability to the Trust or to any shareholder, Authorized
Participant or any other Sponsor Related Party for any loss suffered by the Trust that arises out of any action or inaction of
such Sponsor Related Party, if such Sponsor Related Party, in good faith, determined that such course of conduct was in the best
interest of the Trust and such course of conduct did not constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by such Sponsor
Related Party. Each of the Sponsor Related Parties is indemnified by the Trust and the Funds, as appropriate, against any claims,
losses, liabilities or expenses which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Sponsor Related Party relating to
or arising out of or in connection with the formation, operation or termination of the Trust or such Fund, as appropriate, or the
execution, delivery and performance of its duties pursuant to the Trust Agreement or any other agreements with respect to the Trust
or such Fund to which the Trust is a party or the action or inaction of the Sponsor thereunder with respect to the Trust or such
Fund, except for such claims, losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct
of such Sponsor Related Party.

Under Delaware law,
a beneficial owner of a statutory trust (such as a shareholder of a Fund) may, under certain circumstances, institute legal action
on behalf of himself and all other similarly situated beneficial owners (a “class action”) to recover for violations
of fiduciary duties, or on behalf of a statutory trust (a “derivative action”) to recover damages from a third party
where there has been a failure or refusal to institute proceedings to recover such damages. In addition, beneficial owners may
have the right, subject to certain legal requirements, to bring class actions in federal court to enforce their rights under the
federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the SEC. Beneficial owners who have suffered losses
in connection with the purchase or sale of their shares may be able to recover such losses from the Sponsor where the losses result
from a violation by the Sponsor of the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws.

The foregoing summary
describing in general terms the remedies available to shareholders under federal law is based on statutes, rules and decisions
as of the date of this prospectus. As this is a rapidly developing and changing area of the law, shareholders who

111

believe that they may have a legal cause
of action against any of the foregoing parties should consult their own counsel as to their evaluation of the status of the applicable
law at such time.

Recognition of the Trust and the Funds in Certain States

A number of states
do not have “statutory trust” statutes such as that under which the Trust has been formed in the State of Delaware.
It is possible, although unlikely, that a court in such a state could hold that, due to the absence of any statutory provision
to the contrary in such jurisdiction, the shareholders, although entitled under Delaware law to the same limitation on personal
liability as stockholders in a private corporation for profit organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, are not so entitled
in such state.

Ownership or Beneficial Interest in the Funds

The Sponsor may
maintain an investment in each Fund. The Sponsor, its members, managers, officers, employees or affiliates may have an ownership
or beneficial interest in a Fund, and there are no ownership limitations, such as a percentage restriction, imposed on such positions.

Although the Sponsor
does not currently trade or hold any commodity interests for its own account as of the date of this prospectus, the Sponsor and
its principals reserve the right to trade commodity interests for their own accounts, subject to compliance with the Sponsor’s
code of ethics. Fund investors will not be permitted to inspect the records of such person’s trades or any written policies
related to such trading.

Management and Voting by Shareholders

The shareholders
of the Funds take no part in the management or control of the Trust, and have no voice in the Trust’s operations or business.

The Sponsor has
the right unilaterally to amend the Trust Agreement as it applies to the Funds provided that the shareholders have the right to
vote only if expressly required under Delaware or federal law or rules or regulations of the Exchange, or if submitted to the shareholders
by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. No amendment affecting the Trustee’s rights, powers, duties, obligations, liabilities
or responsibilities shall be binding upon or effective against the Trustee unless consented to by the Trustee in writing.

Shares Freely Transferable

The shares of each
Fund trade on the Exchange and provide institutional and retail investors with direct access to each Fund. The shares of each Fund
may be bought and sold on the Exchange like any other exchange-listed security.

Book-Entry Form

Individual certificates
will not be issued for the shares. Instead, global certificates are deposited by the Trust with DTC and registered in the name
of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. The global certificates evidence all of the shares outstanding at any time. Under the Trust

112

Agreement, shareholders must be (1)
DTC Participants such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies, (2) those who maintain, either directly or indirectly, a
custodial relationship with a DTC Participant (“Indirect Participants”), and (3) those banks, brokers, dealers, trust
companies and others who hold interests in the shares through DTC Participants or Indirect Participants. The shares are only transferable
through the book-entry system of DTC. Shareholders who are not DTC Participants may transfer their shares through DTC by instructing
the DTC Participant holding their shares (or by instructing the Indirect Participant or other entity through which their shares
are held) to transfer the shares. Transfers are made in accordance with standard securities industry practice.

Reports to Shareholders

The Sponsor will
furnish an annual report for each Fund in the manner required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, including, without limitation,
an annual audited financial statement examined and certified by independent registered public accountants and any other reports
required by any other governmental authority that has jurisdiction over the activities of the Fund. The annual and quarterly reports
and other filings made with the SEC will be posted on the Sponsor’s website at www.AccuShares.com.

The Sponsor will
notify shareholders of any change in the fees paid by the Trust or of any material changes to any Fund by filing with the SEC a
supplement to this prospectus or an amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and a current report
on Form 8-K, which will be publicly available at www.sec.gov and at the Sponsor’s website at www.AccuShares.com. Any
such notification will include a description of shareholders’ voting rights, if any.

Each Fund will send
the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form 1099s to its investors, and post to the Sponsor’s website Internal Revenue
Service Form 8937s, each year reporting such Fund’s distributions to its investors. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”
for a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to an investment in the shares of a Fund.

Fund Termination Events; Dissolution

The Trust or any
Fund as the case may be, may be dissolved at any time and for any reason by the Sponsor with written notice to the shareholders.
The Sponsor anticipates that the following circumstances will cause a Fund to liquidate:

·

certain changes in law;

·

an inability to register new shares;

·

an inability to secure a Replacement Index after an Index Disruption Period expires;

·

failure to meet the Exchange listing requirements; or

·

the Fund size being too small to cover its fixed expenses and such condition being
expected by the Sponsor to continue.

113

Additionally, the
Trust or any Fund shall automatically terminate and dissolve if any one of the following events occurs with respect to the Trust
or such Fund:

·

the Trust or such Fund becomes required to register as an “investment company”
under the Investment Company Act;

·

the Trust or such Fund becomes a commodities pool that is regulated under the CEA;
and

·

certain bankruptcy events occur with respect to the Trust or such Fund.

Any dissolution
of any or all of the Funds will result in the mandatory redemption of all outstanding shares of the dissolved Funds, and the resulting
redemption proceeds to each shareholder will equal the amount such shareholder would receive if its shares were redeemed as part
of a Creation Unit at such time.

Tax Treatment of a Fund

The Trust Agreement
provides that, by accepting a share in a Fund, the holder agrees to treat such share as an equity interest in a separate corporation
(i.e., the Fund to which the share relates) for U.S. federal and applicable state and local tax purposes. See “U.S.
Federal Income Tax Considerations” for a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to
an investment in the shares of a Fund.

Agreement, all management functions of the Trust have been delegated to and are conducted by the Sponsor. In their capacities as
officers of the Sponsor, the chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chief financial officer of the Sponsor may take

CODE
OF ETHICS

The Sponsor has
adopted a code of ethics, which is designed to prevent officers, directors, and employees of the Sponsor from engaging in insider
trading, or engaging in deceptive, manipulative, or fraudulent activities in connection with the shares of any Fund or any security
or commodity that is included in any Fund’s Underlying Index. The code of ethics permits officers, directors and employees
of the Sponsor to invest in such securities and commodities, subject to certain restrictions and pre-approval requirements.
In addition, the code of ethics requires that each officer, director or employee of the Sponsor report its personal securities
transactions and holdings to its chief compliance officer, which are reviewed for compliance with the code of ethics.

CONFLICT
OF INTEREST

Other than the code
of ethics described above, the Sponsor has not established formal procedures to resolve potential conflicts of interest. Consequently,
investors may be dependent on the good faith of the respective parties subject to such conflicts to resolve them equitably.

115

The Sponsor does not
expect that material conflicts of interest will arise in the operation of the Funds, each of which operates independently of the
other series of the Trust.

OTHER
CONTRACTS

Administration Agreement and Transfer Agency and Service
Agreement

State Street
Bank and Trust Company, a Massachusetts trust company, serves as the Funds’ administrator pursuant to the terms of the Administration
Agreement. The administrator performs or supervises the performance of services necessary for the operation and administration
of the Funds (other than making investment decisions or providing services provided by other service providers), including accounting

the Funds’ securities and cash in accordance with instructions provided as set forth in the Custodian Agreement. If no instructions
are given as of the effective date of termination, the custodian may, at any time on or after such termination date, either: (1)
deliver the securities and cash held under the Custodian Agreement to the Fund; or (2) deliver the securities and cash held under
the Custodian Agreement to a bank or trust company of its own selection, with such delivery being at the risk of the Funds. In
the event that securities or cash of the Funds remain in the custody of the custodian or its subcustodians after the date of termination
of the Custodian Agreement due to the failure of the Fund to issue instructions with respect to its disposition, the custodian
shall be entitled to compensation for its services with respect to such securities and cash during such period as the custodian
or its subcustodians retain possession of such items, and the provisions of the Custodian Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect until the disposition of the securities and cash.

The custodian is
both exculpated and indemnified under the Custodian Agreement.

THE SECURITIES
DEPOSITORY; BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM; GLOBAL SECURITY

DTC acts as securities
depository for the shares. DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of
the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and
a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold
securities of DTC Participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of transactions in such securities among the DTC
Participants through electronic book-entry changes. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates.
DTC Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations,
some of whom (and/or their representatives) own DTC. Access to the DTC system is also available to Indirect Participants. DTC has
agreed to administer its book-entry system in accordance with its rules and bylaws and the requirements of law.

Upon the settlement
date of any creation, transfer or redemption of shares, DTC credits or debits, on its book-entry registration and transfer
system, the amount of the shares so created, transferred or redeemed to the accounts of the appropriate DTC Participants. The Sponsor
and the Authorized Participants designate the accounts to be credited and charged in the case of creation or redemption of shares.

Beneficial ownership
of the shares is limited to DTC Participants, Indirect Participants and persons holding interests through DTC Participants and
Indirect Participants. Owners of beneficial interests in the shares are shown on, and the transfer of ownership is effected only
through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to DTC Participants), the records of DTC Participants (with respect to Indirect
Participants) and the records of Indirect Participants (with respect to shareholders that are not DTC Participants or Indirect
Participants). Shareholders are expected to receive from or through the DTC Participant maintaining the account through which the
shareholder has purchased their shares a written confirmation relating to such purchase.

Shareholders that
are not DTC Participants may transfer the shares through DTC by instructing the DTC Participant or Indirect Participant through
which the shareholders hold their shares to transfer the shares. Shareholders that are DTC Participants may transfer the shares
by instructing DTC in accordance with the rules of DTC. Transfers are made in accordance with standard securities industry practice.

DTC may decide to
discontinue providing its services with respect to the shares of the Funds by giving notice to the Trust and the Sponsor. Under
such circumstances, the Sponsor will either find a replacement for DTC to perform its functions at a comparable cost or, if a replacement
is unavailable, terminate the Funds.

119

The rights of the
shareholders generally must be exercised by DTC Participants acting on their behalf in accordance with the rules and procedures
of DTC. Because the shares can only be held in book-entry form through DTC and DTC Participants, investors must rely on DTC,
DTC Participants and any other financial intermediary through which they hold the shares to receive the benefits and exercise the
rights described in this section. Investors should consult with their broker or financial institution to learn more about procedures
and requirements for securities held in book-entry form through DTC.

U.S.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

General

The following is
a general summary of all material U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to the acquisition, ownership and disposition
of the shares. This summary is based on the Code, current Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and judicial and United States
Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) interpretations thereof, each as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are
subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion applies only with respect to shares held as “capital
assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. It does not purport to address all aspects of U.S. federal income
taxation that may be relevant to particular owners of the shares in light of their individual circumstances and, except to the
extent expressly provided herein, does not address issues that may be specific to owners subject to special treatment under the
Code, such as brokers, dealers or traders in securities or foreign currencies, tax-exempt entities, U.S. Holders (as defined
below) that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, partnerships
or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, financial institutions, insurance companies, persons who
hold their shares as part of a straddle, conversion transaction, hedge or other integrated investment, certain U.S. expatriates
and U.S. Holders that hold their shares through either a “foreign financial institution” (as such term is defined in
Section 1471(d)(4) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) or certain other entities specified in Section 1472 of
the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Nor does the following discussion address any aspects of state, local, estate,
gift, non-income or non-U.S. tax laws.

If an entity treated
as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds the shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such
partnership generally depends on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such partnerships and partners
should consult their own tax advisors.

For purposes of
this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of the shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
(i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation (including an entity treated as a corporation
for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the
District of Columbia; (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source;
or (iv) a trust that (x) is subject to primary supervision by a court within the United States and with respect to which
one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of the Code) have the authority to control all substantial
decisions or (y) has made a valid election under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a “United States person.”
A

120

“Non-U.S. Holder” is
a beneficial owner of the shares other than a U.S. Holder or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Tax Characterization of Each Fund

In the opinion of
Morrison & Foerster LLP, tax counsel to the Sponsor, each Fund should be treated as a separate corporation for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. As such, each Fund should be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its taxable income and holders
of shares in such Fund should be treated as shareholders of a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The opinion of
Morrison & Foerster LLP states that such conclusions are not free from doubt because no direct authority addresses the treatment
of an entity such as a Fund, that such opinion does not bind the IRS or a court and that no assurance can be provided that the
IRS or a court will agree with such opinion. Moreover, the opinion of Morrison & Foerster LLP is based and conditioned on certain
assumptions and representations by the Trust and each Fund as to factual matters and is expressed as of its date. In particular,
such opinion is conditioned on each Fund making a valid election to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Morrison & Foerster LLP has undertaken no obligation to advise holders of the Funds’ shares of any subsequent change
in the matters stated, represented or assumed by or in its opinion or any subsequent change in the applicable law.

If the IRS successfully
challenged the intended treatment of a Fund as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, investors in the Fund could
be required to recognize income, gains, losses and deductions with respect to their shares in amounts and at times materially different
from those described below. Prospective investors in a Fund are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences
of an investment in a Fund to them.

The remainder of
this discussion assumes each Fund will be treated as a separate corporation, and that a share in such Fund will be treated as an
equity interest in such corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Trust Agreement provides that, by accepting a share
in a Fund, the holder agrees to such treatment.

Tax Consequences Applicable to U.S. Holders

Distributions of Cash

Distributions of
cash to a U.S. Holder, whether pursuant to a Regular, Special or Net Income Distribution, generally will be taxed as a dividend
to the extent of a Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. In the case of individual U.S. Holders, such a dividend
will be a “qualified dividend” eligible for reduced long-term capital gains rates if such U.S. Holder otherwise
meets the requirements for “qualified dividend” treatment. In the case of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation, such
a dividend will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if such corporation otherwise meets the requirements for the
dividends-received deduction. Any distribution in excess of a Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will
reduce a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such U.S. Holder’s shares and, to the extent such distribution exceeds
such adjusted tax basis, will result in capital gain. Any such gain will be long-term capital gain if the U.S. Holder has held
its shares for more than one year.

121

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a U.S. Holder that receives a distribution of cash in lieu of fractional shares generally should be treated as having
received such fractional shares and then as having had such fractional shares redeemed for such cash. The treatment of distributions
and redemptions of shares is discussed below.

Regular Distributions of Shares

Although not entirely
clear under applicable law, in the absence of published administrative guidance or case law to the contrary, each Fund intends
to treat a Regular Distribution of shares as a taxable distribution of property in an amount equal to the fair market value of
the distributed shares at the time of distribution. Under such treatment, such distribution will be taxed as a dividend to the
extent of a Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the
case of individual U.S. Holders, such a dividend will be a “qualified dividend” eligible for reduced long-term
capital gains rates if such U.S. Holder otherwise meets the requirements for “qualified dividend” treatment. In the
case of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation, such a dividend will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if such
corporation otherwise meets the requirements for the dividends-received deduction. A distribution of shares in excess of a
Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will reduce a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such U.S. Holder’s
existing shares and, to the extent such distribution exceeds such adjusted tax basis, will result in capital gain. Any such gain
will be long-term capital gain if the U.S. Holder has held its shares for more than one year. A U.S. Holder will receive an
adjusted tax basis in such distributed shares equal to their fair market value and such U.S. Holder’s holding period in such
shares will begin on the day of the distribution.

Alternative characterizations
are possible. A Regular Distribution of shares could be viewed as a nontaxable distribution of stock under Section 305(a) of the
Code. Under such a view, a U.S. Holder would not recognize taxable income or gain on the distribution. Such U.S. Holder’s
existing tax basis in the shares with respect to which the distribution was made would be allocated between such shares and the
shares received pursuant to the distribution in proportion to their relative fair market values. A U.S. Holder’s holding
period for shares received pursuant to the distribution would include the holding period of the shares with respect to which the
distribution was made.

U.S. Holders should
consult their own tax advisors regarding the consequences to them of a Regular Distribution of shares.

Special Distributions of Shares

Special Distributions
of shares should be treated in the same manner as Regular Distributions of shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Corrective Distributions of Shares

Each Fund intends
to treat a Corrective Distribution as nontaxable to U.S. Holders. As such, a U.S. Holder would not recognize taxable income or
gain on the distribution. Such U.S. Holder’s existing tax basis in the shares with respect to which the distribution was
made would be allocated between such shares and the shares received pursuant to the distribution in

122

proportion to their relative fair market
values. A U.S. Holder’s holding period for shares received pursuant to the distribution would include the holding period
of the shares with respect to which the distribution was made.

It is possible the
IRS could assert a Corrective Distribution of shares should be treated as a taxable distribution of property for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. In such event, a Corrective Distribution of shares would be treated in the same manner as a Regular Distribution
of shares treated as a taxable distribution of property for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Share Splits

A reverse share
split accompanying a Special Distribution or Corrective Distribution should be treated as a nontaxable recapitalization within
the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code. As such, U.S. Holders would not recognize gain or loss. A U.S. Holder’s
existing tax basis in its shares prior to the reverse share split would be allocated among its shares after the reverse share split
in proportion to their relative fair market values. Such U.S. Holder’s holding period in its shares following the reverse
share split would include its holding period in the shares before the reverse share split.

Redemptions

A redemption of
shares for cash generally will be treated as a sale or other taxable disposition, discussed below, as long as the redemption: (a)
results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in the Fund; (b) is “substantially disproportionate”
with respect to the U.S. Holder; or (c) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder.
In determining whether any of these tests has been met, shares actually owned, as well as shares considered to be owned by the
U.S. Holder by reason of certain constructive ownership rules set forth in Section 318 of the Code, generally must be taken into
account.

If none of the aforementioned
tests are met, cash received by a U.S. Holder in redemption of its shares will be treated as a distribution of such cash (other
than a distribution in lieu of fractional shares), discussed above.

Because application
of the foregoing tests depends on each U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors
about the possibility that all or a portion of any cash received in redemption of their shares could be treated as a distribution
and the consequences thereof.

Sales or Other Taxable Dispositions

A U.S. Holder will
recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of a Fund’s shares equal to the difference between
the sum of the fair market value of any property and cash received in such disposition and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax
basis in such shares. Such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held its shares for more
than one year. Capital losses generally are available only to offset capital gains of the U.S. Holder except in the case of individuals,
who may offset up to $3,000 of ordinary income each year with capital losses.

123

Application of the Straddle Rules

Pairs of Up and
Down Shares of a Fund held by a U.S. Holder could be considered a “straddle” for purposes of Section 1092 of the Code.
“Straddles” generally refer to “offsetting positions” with respect to “personal property,”
which may include stock traded on an established financial market, such as a registered securities exchange, an interdealer quotation
system or an interdealer market described in applicable Treasury Regulations. If pairs of Up and Down Shares held by a U.S. Holder
comprised a “straddle” for purposes of Section 1092 of the Code: (i) losses realized on a disposition of a share within
the straddle could be deferred; (ii) the holding period of the shares within the straddle could be suspended; and (iii) interest
and certain other expenses allocable to the acquisition or ownership of shares within the straddle may have to be capitalized,
rather than deducted.

The “straddle”
rules of Section 1092 are complex and their application to securities such as the shares is uncertain. Prospective investors should
consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them of the potential application of Section 1092 of the Code
to the shares.

Additional Medicare Tax

Certain U.S. Holders,
including individuals, estates and trusts, will be subject to an additional 3.8 percent tax, which, for individuals, applies to
the lesser of (i) “net investment income” or (ii) the excess of “modified adjusted gross income” over $200,000
($250,000 if married and filing jointly or $125,000 if married and filing separately). “Net investment income” generally
equals the taxpayer’s gross investment income reduced by deductions that are allocable to such income. Investment income
generally includes passive income such as interest, dividends, annuities, royalties, rents and capital gains. Dividends, if any,
on the shares and gain upon a sale or other taxable disposition of the shares will be subject to this additional tax.

Information Reporting and Back-Up
Withholding

Each Fund will send
IRS Form 1099s to U.S. Holders, and post IRS Form 8937s to the Sponsor’s website, each year reporting distributions made
by the Fund to such U.S. Holders. In addition, back-up withholding may apply, currently at a 28 percent rate, if a U.S. Holder
fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number on an IRS Form W-9 or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish
an exemption from, the back-up withholding requirements. Back-up withholding is not an additional tax. U.S. Holders generally
will be entitled to credit any amounts withheld as back-up withholding against such U.S. Holder’s federal income tax
liability or to a refund of the amounts withheld, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

Tax Consequences Applicable to
Non-U.S. Holders

Distributions of Cash

Distributions of
cash to a Non-U.S. Holder, whether pursuant to a Regular, Special or Net Income Distribution, generally will be taxed as a
dividend to the extent of a Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Each Fund will withhold tax from any such
dividend

124

distributed to a Non-U.S. Holder
at a rate of 30 percent unless such Non-U.S. Holder has certified on an appropriate IRS Form W-8 that an applicable tax
treaty with the United States reduces such rate with respect to such Non-U.S. Holder. Distributions of cash in excess of a
Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will not be taxable to Non-U.S. Holders unless such Non-U.S.
Holder is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the distribution, in which case
such Non-U.S. Holder would be subject to a 30 percent (or lower rate as provided under an applicable income tax treaty) tax
to the extent such excess distribution also exceeded such Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its existing shares.

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Non-U.S. Holder that receives a distribution of cash in lieu of fractional shares generally should be treated
as having received such fractional shares and then as having had such fractional shares redeemed for such cash. The treatment of
distributions and redemptions of shares is discussed below.

Regular Distributions of Shares

As discussed above
with respect to U.S. Holders, each Fund intends to treat a Regular Distribution of shares as a taxable distribution of property
in an amount equal to the fair market value of the distributed shares at the time of distribution. Under such treatment, such a
distribution will be taxed as a dividend to the extent of a Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to withhold tax from any such dividend distributed to a Non-U.S. Holder
at a rate of 30% unless such Non-U.S. Holder has certified on an appropriate IRS Form W-8 that an applicable tax treaty
with the United States reduces such rate with respect to such Non-U.S. Holder. Distributions of shares in excess of a Fund’s
current and accumulated earnings and profits will not be taxable to a Non-U.S. Holder unless such Non-U.S. Holder is an
individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the distribution, in which case such Non-U.S.
Holder would be subject to a 30 percent tax (or lower rate as provided under an applicable income tax treaty) to the extent such
excess distribution also exceeded such Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its existing shares.

In the event a Fund
distributes both cash and shares pursuant to a Regular Distribution and such distribution constituted a dividend subject to withholding
tax pursuant to the foregoing, the Fund intends to satisfy such withholding tax first and to the greatest extent possible out of
the cash portion of such distribution. Accordingly, a Non-U.S. Holder receiving a distribution of both cash and shares taxable
as a dividend could receive disproportionately less cash as a result of the application of such withholding tax.

As also discussed
above, alternative characterizations of Regular Distributions of shares are possible. If, instead, a Regular Distribution of shares
was viewed as a nontaxable distribution of stock under Section 305(a) of the Code, such distribution would not be taxable to a
Non-U.S. Holder irrespective of the current and accumulated earnings and profits of a Fund.

Non-U.S. Holders
should consult their own tax advisors regarding the consequences to them of a Regular Distribution of shares.

125

Special Distributions of Shares

Special Distributions
of shares should be treated in the same manner as Regular Distributions of shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Corrective Distributions of Shares

Each Fund intends
to treat a Corrective Distribution of shares as nontaxable to a Non-U.S. Holder.

It is possible the
IRS could assert a Corrective Distribution of shares should be treated as a taxable distribution of property for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. In such an event, a Corrective Distribution of shares made to a Non-U.S. Holder would be treated in the same
manner as a Regular Distribution of shares treated as a taxable distribution of property for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Share Splits

A reverse share
split accompanying a Special Distribution or Corrective Distribution should not be taxable to Non-U.S. Holders.

Redemptions

A redemption of
shares for cash generally will be treated as a sale or other taxable disposition, discussed below, as long as the redemption: (a)
results in a “complete termination” of the Non-U.S. Holder’s interest in the Fund; (b) is “substantially
disproportionate” with respect to the Non-U.S. Holder; or (c) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend”
with respect to the Non-U.S. Holder. In determining whether any of these tests has been met, shares actually owned, as well
as shares considered to be owned by the Non-U.S. Holder by reason of certain constructive ownership rules set forth in Section
318 of the Code, generally must be taken into account.

If none of the aforementioned
tests are met, cash received by a Non-U.S. Holder in redemption of its shares will be treated as a distribution of such cash
(other than a distribution in lieu of fractional shares), discussed above.

Because application
of the foregoing tests depends on each Non-U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, Non-U.S. Holders should consult
their tax advisors about the possibility that all or a portion of any cash received in redemption of their shares could be treated
as a distribution and the consequences thereof.

Sales or Other Taxable Dispositions

A Non-U.S. Holder
will not be subject to tax on a sale or other taxable disposition of its shares unless such Non-U.S. Holder is an individual
present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition, in which case such Non-U.S. Holder
would be subject to a 30 percent (or lower rate as provided under an applicable income tax treaty) tax on any gain recognized in
the disposition.

126

Effectively Connected Income

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a Non-U.S. Holder’s ownership of the shares is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S.
Holder of a trade or business within the United States (and, in the case of an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to
a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States), the U.S. federal income tax consequences
to such Non-U.S. Holder of an investment in the shares generally will be the same as those applicable to U.S. Holders except
that corporate Non-U.S. Holders may incur an additional 30 percent (or lower rate as provided under an applicable income tax
treaty) “branch profits” tax on income or gain recognized with respect to the shares. In order to establish that ownership
of the shares is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted within the United States, a Non-U.S. Holder must
provide a properly completed IRS Form W-8ECI.

Additional Medicare Tax

As discussed above
with respect to U.S. Holders, a 3.8 percent tax applies to the “net investment income” of certain U.S. Holders that
are individuals, estates or trusts. It is unclear whether this tax applies to Non-U.S. Holders that are estates or trust and
have one or more U.S. beneficiaries. Such Non-U.S. Holders and their beneficiaries should consult their own tax advisors regarding
this issue.

Information Reporting and Back-Up
Withholding

Information reporting
may apply to Non-U.S. Holders. Copies of the information returns reporting amounts paid to Non-U.S. Holders and any withholding
taxes also may be made available by the IRS to the tax authorities in the country in which a Non-U.S. Holder is a resident
under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty or other agreement. In general, back-up withholding will not apply
to a Non-U.S. Holder provided such Non-U.S. Holder (i) provides a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI
and/or Form W-8IMY, or a suitable substitute form, attesting to such Non-U.S. Holder’s non-U.S. status, or (ii)
the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

In order to claim
the benefits of an income tax treaty with the United States or to establish that ownership of the shares is effectively connected
with a trade or business conducted within the United States, a Non-U.S. Holder must provide a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN
or IRS Form W-8ECI, respectively.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

The Foreign Account
Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) imposes withholding at a 30 percent rate on certain types of U.S.-source “withholdable
payments” (including dividends paid on, and the gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, shares of stock in
a U.S. corporation) made to a “foreign financial institution” or to a “non-financial foreign entity”
(all as defined in the Code) (whether such foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity is the beneficial
owner or an intermediary), unless (i) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations,
(ii) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it

127

does not have any “substantial
United States owners” (as defined in applicable Treasury regulations) or furnishes identifying information regarding each
substantial United States owner or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies
for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting
requirements in (i) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things,
that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain U.S. persons or U.S.-owned foreign entities (as defined in applicable
Treasury regulations), annually report certain information about such accounts and withhold 30 percent on payments to noncompliant
foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign governments may enter into an agreement with the IRS
to implement FATCA in a different manner.

Treasury regulations
and published IRS guidance defer the effective date of FATCA and provide that FATCA withholding will apply to payments of dividends
on stock, such as dividends with respect to the shares, made on or after July 1, 2014 and to payments of gross proceeds from the
sale or other disposition of such stock on or after January 1, 2017.

Holders should consult
their tax advisors regarding the application of FATCA to the shares.

PURCHASES
BY EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

General

The following section
sets forth certain consequences under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or “ERISA,”
and the Code, which a fiduciary of an “employee benefit plan” as defined in and subject to ERISA or of a “plan”
as defined in and subject to Section 4975 of the Code who has investment discretion should consider before deciding to invest the
plan’s assets in a Fund (such “employee benefit plans” and “plans” being referred to herein as “Plans,”
and such fiduciaries with investment discretion being referred to herein as “Plan Fiduciaries”). The following summary
is not intended to be complete, but only to address certain questions under ERISA and the Code which are likely to be raised by
the Plan Fiduciary’s own counsel.

In general, the
terms “employee benefit plan” as defined in and subject to Title I of ERISA and “plan” as defined in Section
4975 of the Code together refer to any plan or account of various types which provide retirement benefits or welfare benefits to
an individual or to an employer’s employees and their beneficiaries. Such plans and accounts include, but are not limited
to, corporate pension and profit-sharing plans, simplified employee pension plans, plans for self-employed individuals
(including partners), individual retirement accounts described in Section 408 of the Code and medical plans.

Each Plan Fiduciary
must give appropriate consideration to the facts and circumstances that are relevant to an investment in a Fund, which may include,
among other things, the role that such an investment would play in the Plan’s overall investment portfolio. Each Plan Fiduciary,
before deciding to invest in a Fund, must be satisfied that such investment is prudent for the Plan, that the investments of the
Plan, including the investment in a Fund, are diversified so as to

128

minimize the risk
of large losses and that an investment in a Fund complies with the Plan documents and that the purchase will not result in any
non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

EACH PLAN FIDUCIARY CONSIDERING ACQUIRING
SHARES ON BEHALF OF A PLAN MUST CONSULT WITH ITS OWN LEGAL AND TAX ADVISERS BEFORE DOING SO. AN INVESTMENT IN A FUND IS SPECULATIVE
AND INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. NONE OF THE FUNDS IS INTENDED AS A COMPLETE INVESTMENT PROGRAM.

“Plan Assets”

A regulation issued
under ERISA by the U.S. Department of Labor contains rules for determining when an investment by a Plan in an equity interest of
an entity will result in the underlying assets of such entity being considered to constitute assets of the Plan for purposes of
ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code (i.e., “plan assets”). Those rules provide that assets of an entity will
not be considered assets of a Plan which purchases an equity interest in the entity if one or more exceptions apply, including
(1) an exception applicable if the equity interest purchased is a “publicly offered security” (the “Publicly
Offered Security Exception”), and (2) an exception applicable if equity interests purchased by a plan are not significant,
or the Insignificant Participation Exception.

The Publicly Offered
Security Exception applies if the equity interest is a security that is (1) “freely transferable,” (2) part of a class
of securities that is “widely held” and (3) either (a) part of a class of securities registered under Section 12(b)
or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, or (b) sold to the Plan as part of a public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act and the class of which such security is a part is registered under the Exchange Act within 120 days (or
such later time as may be allowed by the SEC) after the end of the fiscal year of the issuer in which the offering of such security
occurred.

The Trust expects
that the Publicly Offered Security Exception should apply with respect to the shares of each Fund.

Ineligible Purchasers

Among other considerations,
shares may not be purchased with the assets of a Plan if the Sponsor or any of its respective affiliates, any of their respective
employees or any employees of their respective affiliates: (1) has investment discretion with respect to the investment of such
plan assets; (2) has authority or responsibility to give or regularly gives investment advice with respect to such plan assets,
for a fee, and pursuant to an agreement or understanding that such advice will serve as a primary basis for investment decisions
with respect to such plan assets and that such advice will be based on the particular investment needs of the Plan; or (3) is an
employer maintaining or contributing to such Plan. A party that is described in clause (1) or (2) of the preceding sentence would
be a fiduciary under ERISA and the Code with respect to the Plan, and unless an exemption applies, any such purchase might result
in a prohibited transaction under ERISA and the Code.

129

Except as otherwise
set forth herein, the foregoing statements regarding the consequences under ERISA and the Code of an investment in shares of the
Funds are based on the provisions of the Code and ERISA as currently in effect, and the existing administrative and judicial interpretations
thereunder. No assurance can be given that administrative, judicial or legislative changes will not occur that will make the foregoing
statements incorrect or incomplete.

THE PERSON WITH INVESTMENT DISCRETION
SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER ATTORNEY AND FINANCIAL ADVISERS AS TO THE PROPRIETY OF AN INVESTMENT IN SHARES IN LIGHT OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES
OF THE PARTICULAR PLAN AND CURRENT TAX LAW.

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION

Each Fund will issue
shares in Creation Units to Authorized Participants continuously, at the Class Values per Share of each class of the Fund. The
Funds will not issue fractions of a Creation Unit. Each issuance of Creation Units will occur in pairs of Up Shares and Down Shares
for each Fund, as described in this prospectus.

Authorized Participants
may offer to the public, from time to time, Up Shares and/or Down Shares from any Creation Units they create. Shares offered to
the public by Authorized Participants will be offered at a per share offering price that will vary depending on, among other factors,
the trading price of the Fund’s shares on the Exchange, the Class Value per Share of the offered class and the supply of
and demand for the shares at the time of the offer. Shares initially comprising the same Creation Unit but offered by Authorized
Participants to the public at different times may have different offering prices. Authorized Participants will not receive from
the Fund, the Sponsor or any of their affiliates, any fee or other compensation in connection with their sale of shares to the
public, although investors may be charged a customary commission by their brokers in connection with purchases of shares that will
vary from investor to investor. Investors are encouraged to review the terms of their brokerage accounts for applicable charges.

As of the date of
this prospectus, [ ], [ ] and [ ] have each executed an Authorized Participant Agreement and are the only Authorized Participants.
Additional Authorized Participants may be added from time to time.

Each Fund issues
shares in Creation Units to Authorized Participants from time-to-time in exchange for cash on an ongoing basis. Because
new shares can be created and issued on an ongoing basis at any point during the life of each Fund, a “distribution,”
as such term is used in the Securities Act, will be occurring. An Authorized Participant, other broker-dealer firm or its client
will be deemed a statutory underwriter, and thus will be subject to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the Securities
Act, if it purchases a Creation Unit from any Fund, breaks the Creation Unit down into the constituent shares and sells the shares
to its customers; or if it chooses to couple the creation of a supply of new shares with an active selling effort involving solicitation
of secondary market demand for the shares. A determination of whether one is an underwriter must take into account all the facts
and circumstances pertaining to the activities of the broker-dealer or its client in the particular case, and the examples
mentioned above should not be considered a complete description of all the activities that would lead to categorization as an underwriter.
Authorized Participants, other broker-dealers and other persons

130

are cautioned that some of their activities
will result in their being deemed participants in a distribution in a manner which would render them statutory underwriters and
subject them to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the Securities Act. For example, [ ] as initial Authorized
Participant will be a statutory underwriter with respect to its purchase of initial Creation Units, as described below.

Dealers who are
neither Authorized Participants nor “underwriters” but are participating in a distribution (as contrasted to ordinary
secondary trading transactions), and thus dealing with shares that are part of an “unsold allotment” within the meaning
of Section 4(3)(C) of the Securities Act, would be unable to take advantage of the prospectus delivery exemption provided by Section
4(3) of the Securities Act.

The initial Authorized
Participant of each Fund is expected to be [ ]. The initial Creation Units of each Fund are expected to be purchased by the initial
Authorized Participant on or soon after the day the SEC declares effective the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part. The initial offering price was set as an appropriate and convenient price that would facilitate secondary market trading
of the shares. The shares of a Fund are expected to begin trading on the Exchange on the business day following the purchase of
the initial Creation Units from such Fund by the initial Authorized Participant. The initial Authorized Participant intends to
offer the shares of the initial Creation Units of each Fund publicly at a per share offering price that will vary, depending on,
among other factors, the Class Value per Share of the shares and the trading price of the shares on the Exchange. The initial Authorized
Participant will not receive from the Trust, any Fund, the Sponsor, the Trustee or any of their affiliates a fee or other compensation
in connection with the sale of any Fund’s shares. The initial Authorized Participant is considered a statutory underwriter
because it intends to distribute the shares it receives from the purchase of the initial Creation Units.

The Trust and the
Funds will not bear any expenses in connection with the offering or sales of the initial Creation Units.

Retail investors
may purchase and sell shares through traditional brokerage accounts. Investors who purchase shares through a commission/fee-based
brokerage account may pay commissions/fees charged by the brokerage account. Investors are encouraged to review the terms of their
brokerage accounts for applicable charges.

The offering of
Creation Units is being made in compliance with Conduct Rule 2310 of FINRA. Accordingly, the Authorized Participants will not make
any sales to any account over which they have discretionary authority without the prior written approval of a purchaser of shares.
The maximum amount of items of value to be paid to FINRA Members in connection with the offering of the shares by a Fund will not
exceed 10% of the gross proceeds of the offering.

Marketing Services

Pursuant to a
Marketing Agent Agreement with the Sponsor, Foreside reviews all proposed sales materials and marketing literature for compliance
with applicable laws and regulations, and shall file such sales materials with appropriate regulators, as required. The total

131

amount payable to Foreside, including
reimbursed expenses, shall not exceed $95,000 over the three-year period of the offering.

Foreside and
the Sponsor have also entered into a Securities Activities and Services Agreement, whereby Foreside sponsors the FINRA registration
of certain employees of the Sponsor who will be marketing the Funds. The total amount payable to Foreside, including reimbursed
expenses, shall not exceed $313,000 over the three-year period of the offering.

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Foreside shall be entitled to receive only its out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in connection with the
services provided pursuant to the Marketing Agent Agreement and the Securities Activities and Services Agreement.

STATEMENT
REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus
contains “forward-looking statements” with respect to the Trust’s and the Funds’ financial conditions,
results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. Statements preceded by, followed by or that include
words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or similar expressions are intended
to identify some of the forward-looking statements. All statements (other than statements of historical fact) included in this
prospectus that address activities, events or developments that will or may occur in the future, including such matters as changes
in commodity prices and market conditions (for commodities and the shares), the Trust’s and the Fund’s operations,
the Sponsor’s plans and references to the Trust’s and the Fund’s future success and other similar matters are
forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. These statements
are based upon certain assumptions and analyses the Sponsor has made based on its perception of historical trends, current conditions
and expected future developments, as well as other factors appropriate in the circumstances. Whether or not actual results and
developments will conform to the Sponsor’s expectations and predictions, however, is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
including the special considerations discussed in this prospectus, general economic, market and business conditions, changes in
laws or regulations, including those concerning taxes, made by governmental authorities or regulatory bodies, and other world economic
and political developments. See “Risk Factors.” Consequently, all the forward-looking statements made in this prospectus
are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments the Sponsor
anticipates will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the expected consequences to, or have
the expected effects on, the Trust’s and the Fund’s operations or the value of the shares. Moreover, neither the Sponsor
nor any other person assumes responsibility for any accuracy or completeness of the forward-looking statements. Neither the
Trust nor the Sponsor is under a duty to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform such statements to actual
results or to reflect a change in the Sponsor’s expectations or predictions.

Except as expressly
required by federal securities laws, the Trust assumes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Investors should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements.

The accompanying notes are an integral
part of this financial statement.

*
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition of AccuShares Commodities Trust I (the “Trust”) is being provided
solely to meet Securities and Exchange Commission regulatory requirements. The Trust does not have assets or liabilities separate
from those of its seven fund series. An investor in a series of the Trust has an entitlement to the assets of that series only
and not to the assets of any other series or the Trust as a whole.

ACCUSHARES COMMODITIES TRUST I

Notes to the Financial Statement

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION

The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust
formed on June 28, 2013 and currently organized into seven separate series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).

NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies followed by each Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Use of Estimates & Indemnifications

The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures
in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the normal course of business, the
Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Trust’s
maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Sponsor expects any risk of loss to be remote.

Income Taxes

For U.S. federal and applicable state
and local income tax purposes, the Trust intends to treat (i) each Fund as a separate taxable corporation, (ii) the shares of each
Fund as stock therein and (iii) each investor in a Fund as a shareholder in such Fund. Accordingly, each taxable year each Fund
will be subject to federal and applicable state and local income taxation at applicable corporate income tax rates on its net taxable
income, if any.

NOTE 3 AGREEMENTS

Management Fee

Each class of a Fund pays the Sponsor
the Management Fee, monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to the percentage of its average daily Class Value at the rates indicated

The Sponsor receives the Management
Fee and otherwise bears all the routine ordinary expenses of each Fund, including the fees and reimbursable expenses of the Trustee,
the Investment Advisor, the custodian, the administrator, the transfer agent, the Index Provider and the marketing agent. The Funds
bear all their tax liabilities, which are accrued daily, and their extraordinary, non-recurring expenses that are not assumed
by the Sponsor under the Trust Agreement. Expenses, fees and taxes shall be accrued in advance for all non-business days at the
end of the immediately preceding business day.

No other fee is paid by the Funds. The
Management Fee is paid in consideration of the Sponsor’s management and administrative services and the other services provided
to the Funds for which the Sponsor pays directly.

Brokerage Commissions and Fees

Each Fund will pay its respective brokerage
commissions, including applicable exchange fees if any.

The Administrator

The Sponsor and the Trust, on behalf
of itself and on behalf of the Funds, have appointed State Street Bank and Trust Company as the administrator of the Funds and
State Street Bank and Trust Company has entered into the Administration Agreement in connection therewith. In addition, State Street
Bank and Trust Company serves as transfer agent and custodian of the Funds. The administrator’s fees are paid on behalf of
the Funds by the Sponsor out of the Management Fee.

Pursuant to the terms of the Administration
Agreement and under the supervision and direction of the Sponsor, the administrator performs or supervises the performance of services
necessary for the operation and administration of the Funds (other than making investment decisions or providing services provided
by other service providers), including accounting and other fund administrative services.

The Transfer Agent

State Street Bank and Trust Company
serves as the transfer agent for each Fund pursuant to appointment by the Sponsor and the terms of the Transfer Agency and Service
Agreement. The

F-5

transfer agent, among other things,
provides transfer agent services with respect to the creation and redemption of Creation Units. The transfer agent fees are paid
on behalf of the Funds by the Sponsor out of the Management Fee.

The Custodian

State Street Bank and Trust Company
will serve as custodian of each Fund, and the Trust, on its own behalf and on behalf of each Fund, and the custodian have entered
into a Custodian Agreement in connection therewith. Pursuant to the terms of the Custodian Agreement, the custodian will be responsible
for the holding and safekeeping of assets delivered to it by the Fund, and performing various administrative duties in accordance
with instructions delivered to the custodian by the Fund. The custodian will also perform each Fund’s Class Value and Class
Value per Share calculations. The custodian’s fees are paid on behalf of the Fund by the Sponsor.

The Marketing Agent

Pursuant to a Marketing Agent Agreement
with the Sponsor, Foreside Fund Services, LLC (“Foreside”) reviews all proposed sales materials and marketing literature
for compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and shall file such sales materials with appropriate regulators, as required.
Foreside’s fees are paid by the Sponsor.

Routine Operational, Administrative
and Other Ordinary Expenses

The Sponsor will pay all of the routine
operational, administrative, and other ordinary expenses of each Fund, including, but not limited to, computer services expenses,
the fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Investment Advisor, the custodian, the administrator, the transfer agent, the Index Provider,
the marketing agent and any other service providers of the Funds, legal and accounting fees and expenses, filing fees, and printing,
mailing and duplication costs.

Non-Recurring Fees and Expenses

All extraordinary, non-recurring
expenses (referred to as extraordinary fees and expenses in the Trust Agreement), if any, will be borne by the affected Funds.
Extraordinary fees and expenses affecting the Trust as a whole will be prorated to each Fund according to its respective aggregate
Class Values. Extraordinary, non-recurring expenses include, without limitation, legal claims and liabilities, litigation costs
or indemnification or other unanticipated expenses. Such fees and expenses, by their nature, are unpredictable with respect to
timing and amount.

NOTE 4 OFFERING COSTS

Normal and expected expenses incurred
in connection with the continuous offering of shares of each Fund will be paid by the Sponsor.

NOTE 5 CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF
CREATION UNITS

Each Fund will issue and redeem shares
from time to time, but only in one or more Creation Units. A Creation Unit is a block of both 25,000 Up Shares and 25,000 Down
Shares of the

F-6

Fund. Creation Units may be created
or redeemed only by Authorized Participants. Authorized Participants may sell the shares included in the Creation Units they purchase
from the Fund to other investors in the secondary market.

Except when aggregated in Creation Units,
the shares are not redeemable securities. Retail investors, therefore, generally will not be able to purchase or redeem shares
directly from or with the Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase or sell shares in the secondary market with the assistance
of a broker.

Authorized Participants will pay a transaction
fee of $600 per order plus 0.005% of the aggregate order value to the Fund custodian in connection with each order for the creation
or redemption of Creation Units. The transaction fee is intended to defray the transfer agent’s cost for processing the creation
and redemption orders and the Sponsor’s Trust offering registration fee expense. The transaction fee may be reduced, increased
or otherwise changed by the Sponsor at its sole discretion.

NOTE 6 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the possibility
of subsequent events existing in the Funds’ financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. Management
has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements through
this date.

The information in this
prospectus is not complete and may be changed. The Trust may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with

AccuShares Commodities Trust I is
a Delaware statutory trust organized into separate fund series, and sponsored by AccuShares Investment Management, LLC. The series
listed above (the “Fund”) will always issue, distribute and redeem Up and Down Shares in equal quantities. The Fund’s
shares represent fractional undivided interests in and ownership of the Fund only. The Fund will offer its shares on a continuous
basis and be listed on the NASDAQ OMX.

The Fund is not intended to be used
as a long-term passive investment vehicle. The Fund is not appropriate for you if you do not intend to actively monitor and
manage your holdings in the Fund before and immediately following the Fund distribution date.

The objective of the Fund is to track
the changes in measures of expected price volatility of the S&P 500® Index where such volatility measures are
published as an index value (the “Underlying Index”) by S&P® Dow Jones® Indices LLC,
which is unaffiliated with the Fund or the sponsor.

Exposure
to changes in the Underlying Index will be achieved through the allocation of the Fund’s liquidation value to each of its
classes (“Class Value”) and the resulting distribution to Fund shareholders of cash or cash and paired Up and Down
Shares on prescribed distribution dates. The Fund’s Up Shares will generally be entitled to a distribution when the Fund’s
Underlying Index has increased as of specified dates (“Regular Distributions”) or by 75% (“Special Distributions”).
Similarly, the Fund’s Down Shares will generally be entitled to Regular or Special Distributions when the Underlying Index
has declined. The change in the allocation of the Fund’s liquidation value to each class, as well as any resulting Regular
or Special Distribution, will have a total value, after adjustment for dilution in value of shares held by the recipient following
any Regular or Special Distribution, equal to the favorable, but no more than 90%, Underlying Index change since the previous distribution
date or since the Fund’s inception in the case of the first distribution. Regular and Special Distributions are expected
to be made principally in cash, though the sponsor will make all or any part of any such distribution in paired shares where further
cash distributions would have an adverse effect on the liquidity of the market for the Fund’s shares as described herein.
After the first six months of trading in the Fund’s shares, the sponsor intends to cause the Fund to continue to make Regular
and Special Distributions entirely in cash, unless further distributions in cash would result in the Fund having less than $25
million in assets. The share class having an adverse experience from Underlying Index changes will receive no Regular or Special
Distribution and will experience dilution in value caused by the distribution to the opposing share class. Corrective distributions
of shares (“Corrective Distributions”) may occur if the Fund’s share classes’ exchange trading prices deviate
persistently from the value per share representing their share class’ relative portion of the Fund’s liquidation value
(“Class Value per Share”). See “Investment Objectives,” “Distributions and Distribution Dates,” and “Description of the Shares & Certain Terms of the Trust Agreement.”

The Fund will hold only cash, short-dated
U.S. Treasuries or collateralized U.S. Treasury repurchases. The Fund will not invest in equity securities, futures, swaps, or
other assets that may track its Underlying Index.

The Fund will continuously offer and
redeem its shares only in blocks of 25,000 Up Shares and 25,000 Down Shares (“Creation Units”). Only Authorized Participants
may purchase and redeem Creation Units for cash. The initial Authorized Participant may, though it is under no obligation to do
so, make initial purchases of two or more Creation Units of the Fund at an initial price per share of $25.00. Thereafter, shares
of the Fund will be offered to Authorized Participants in Creation Units at the Fund’s Class Values per Share for each class.
See “Creation and Redemption of Shares” and “Plan of Distribution.”

All other investors may only buy or sell
the Fund’s shares in the secondary market at current market prices and may incur fees or brokerage commissions on their transactions.
The Fund’s Up and Down Shares will trade separately.

Neither the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined
if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this
prospectus is ________, 2014

The
Fund is not suitable for all investors

The Fund is very different from most
mutual funds, exchange traded funds, commodity pools and other exchange traded products. You should note that:

(1)

Down Shares are Unlike Other Traditional Fund Investments.
The Down Shares of the Fund pursue investment goals which are inverse to the performance of its Underlying Index, a result
opposite from the results of most mutual funds, exchange traded funds, and other exchange traded products.

(2)

Distributions can Reduce or Eliminate Your Desired
Exposure to the Underlying Index and Cash Distributions will Reduce the Size of the Fund. The Fund’s Regular
and Special Distributions of cash, or cash and shares, will reduce your opportunity for gains arising from changes in the Fund’s
Underlying Index in subsequent periods. Any Corrective Distribution will eliminate your opportunity for such gains in subsequent
periods. The sponsor intends to cause the Fund to make Regular and Special Distributions in cash, although the sponsor will make
all or any part of any such distribution in paired shares instead of cash where further cash distributions would adversely affect
the liquidity of the market for the Fund’s shares.

The payment of cash distributions
over time is expected to cause a decline in the Fund’s Class Values. If the Fund’s Class Values decline to a significant
extent, the market for the Fund’s shares may become less liquid. Moreover, a significant decline in the Fund’s Class
Values may cause the sponsor to terminate the Fund if its continued operation would be uneconomical. In any event, the Fund will
always have sufficient assets to redeem all of its outstanding shares at the prevailing Class Values per Share.

When the Fund makes a distribution
in paired shares, it will not issue fractional shares but will instead distribute cash in lieu of fractional shares. Regular and
Special Distributions of shares will be made in equal quantities of Up Shares and Down Shares (or the cash value of such shares)
only to the share class of the Fund whose Class Value per Share has increased since the beginning of the distribution measurement
period that starts with the prior distribution date or the inception of Fund operations in the case of the first distribution date
(the “Measuring Period”). If a distribution is in cash, any amounts held in cash will have no responsiveness to the
Underlying Index. Any portion of your Fund holdings in your portfolio that is represented by equal amounts of Up Shares and Down
Shares will also have no responsiveness to any changes in the level of the Fund’s Underlying Index since change in the relative
Class Values per Share of each Up Share and each Down Share will exactly offset each other with respect to changes in the Underlying
Index.

(3)

If You Seek to Maintain a Maximum Exposure to the Underlying
Index, You May Need to Rebalance Your Fund Investments After Every Distribution. Investors wishing to maximize exposure to
the Underlying Index (in either direction) or investors wishing to compound gains over one or more distribution dates must invest
any cash distributed in the class of shares aligned with their investment objectives. To the extent that a distribution is made
in paired shares, investors will need to sell all shares of the class of

i

shares they receive in such distribution
that opposes their intended exposure to the Under
